DFSG::1.Free Redistribution

      The  license of  a Debian component  may  not restrict any party
from  selling   or giving away the  software   as  a  component  of an
aggregate   software distribution  containing  programs  from  several
different sources. The license may not  require a royalty or other fee
for such sale.

DFSG::3.Derived Works

      The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must
allow them to  be distributed under the same  terms as  the license of
the original software.

archive is distributed unchanged and as a whole, including this notice.

DFSG::6.No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

      The  license  must not  restrict  anyone from  making use of the
program  in a  specific  field of endeavor.  For  example, it may  not

for genetic research.

vs

Troll::
If you are paid to develop something with Qt or it is a part of your job
the following conditions also apply:
