Nonsense. KDevelop is under the GPL, Qt 2.x is under the QPL.
The GPL is only relevant if you distribute KDevelop. There
are no restrictions on _using_ it at all. The QPL is relevant
if you either distribute Qt itself or make applications which
link to Qt. Again, there are no restrictions on _using_ 
applications which link to Qt. If they are any questions on the 
details of the license, the best is to ask the copyright holders, 
i.e. for Qt info at troll.no.
