Well you can either follow the license of the GPL version, which means
your code has to be under a GPL compatible license, or you can pay
trolltech money to have the code under a different license that lets you
do something else.  No conflict there.  Perfectly simple.  You can have
the copryright allowances provided under the GPL by following the
requirements of the GPL, or you can have more rights than that by paying
money to get the copyright allowances under the commercial license.
