Trolltech gave me a Qt license because Boudewijn suggested it would be
nice of them to do so. As I said before, I think this is their standard
practise for people who help to promote Qt. What they gave me was their
standard package - UNIX and Windows version and the commercial license.
They had no idea what I intended to do with it - I didn't myself at the
time.

Yes to both questions. As I said in the original post, the legality of
what I did was open to question. According to my interpretation of the
license it was legal. However, I think it was against the spirit of what
Trolltech intended with the license.
