There was special wording added via the Aegypten project in 2004, it seems. So 
the problem is that you're trying to link GPL code with non-GPL Qt on Windows, 
if I understand Marc's description from then.

Trolltech did have special exceptions for linking GPL Qt with other non-GPL-
compatible Free Software licenses (e.g. around Qt 4.3 there's some 
documentation).

As I said on IRC, I don't think this is relevant anymore; there's a GPL Qt 
available on Windows -- and on the commercial side, it's the *Qt* license now 
that prevents linking to open source things, rather than the other way around.
