As far as I know this is right. Because GPL is a license (thats what the L
stands for:), not an end-user agreement. All the GPL talks about is
(re-)publishing. So as long as you do not re-distribute your app (outside your
home/business) no one knows and cares.
And I always wonder how Trolltech would enforce people to not use the GPL-
version to start development and only buy a commercial license shortly before
publishing ones own app for money. They actually can't because the sources of
your app (should) not leave your home/business before that, so they wouldn't
know...
