No. Your code is licensed using the license *you* choose. Neither 
Trolltech nor anyone else can impose a license on the code you're about 
to write.

What happens is that Trolltech doesn't let you use their own code unless 
your code is GPL compatible. And "GPL compatible" doesn't mean GPL: it 
has to be as restrictive as GPL or less. So, LGPL qualifies. Therefore, 
the kdelibs licensing policy applies and all licenses there are valid to 
link to Qt in any edition.
