Yes, it really is free. This is because the Qt Open Source Edition uses the GNU GPL, which forbids the imposition of any license restrictions on software based on the Open Source Edition that would make it non-free. And no, there are no Trolltech-specific license restrictions on software produced using the Open Source Edition.
