I doubt they would go out of business. They don't make money from people who 
produce free software anyways. Even if a GPL version of Qt was available for 
windows, Trolltech would still make money on people building proprietary 
software with their kit (I'm sure they make 85% of their revenue on in-house, 
MIS-type software development anyways)

I do not have the expertise to try and compile the GPL version in Windows, 
but if someone does, I will support them and I'm sure others will.

It's to produce cross-platform free software people...
