OK, so according to Linus, the GPL allows a proprietary program to
make calls to the kernel, but TrollTech says the GPL doesn't allow a
proprietary program to make calls to the Qt library.

It's this double-standard that I find confusing, since both projects
are said to be based on the same license. I wouldn't have any problem
if Qt had built its own GPL-derived, custom license, but they claim
it's the same ol' GPL. Hence the questioning.
