Yes, that sounds right to me, too. IANAL, but I do have some experience 
with contracts, and the GPL FAQ is sufficiently explicit.

This seems to apply to Guile only, right Joris?

Note that, however, in order to use Qt/Win32 *VERSION 3*, somebody has to 
purchase a license. Qt-noncomm. is only available in version 2.3, which is 
(in many respects, as I understand) inferior. So, not all is well...
