Developing Proprietary Software with KDevelop

Hello,

I've been following this list since Feb 2000 (and still have all the mails 
since then ).  I am considering writing a proprietary program for resell 
which will (ofcourse) run on Linux boxes and eventually even under Microsofts 
Windows.  Now comes the time to choose the appropriate IDE.  

My question is, can I use KDevelop to program proprietary software.  If it is 
not impossible then what areas such as KDE Libraries, Automake, Autoconfig..  
would I have to refrain from using to keep from violating the GNU License?  I 
would of course be purchasing a developers license for Qt.

I could swear that this topic had been covered once a very long time ago and 
the conclusion was that it wan NOT possible to use KDevelop to program 
software for resell (just for the personal or in-company use).  I searched 
all my EMails but couldn't find anything conclusive.

My other option would be to Purchase Borlands Kylix.  It would be interestig 
being able to use the same source codes for a Windows application but the 
staggering prices....  I realy like KDevelops price !!  I also want to start 
programming for real in C/C++ (currently am stuck with VB).

I would appreciate hearing anyones ( preferably qualified ) opinion on this 
subject.
