Okay, did you go to the Trolltech licensing FAQ that I linked to?  It 
wasn't about the author changing his license, it's that Trolltech is 
not willing to sell you a proprietary license for any code you've 
ever developed using the Free Edition.  Trolltech would be the one 
taking issue with him, not the other authors.  To quote Trolltech 
more fully,

"Can we use the Open Source Edition while developing our non-free 
application and then purchase commercial licenses when we start to 
sell it?

No: our commercial license agreements only apply to software that was 
developed with Qt under the agreement. They do not apply to code that 
was developed with the Qt Open Source Edition prior to the agreement. 
Any software developed with Qt without a commercial license agreement 
must be released as free/open source software."

This is according to the Trolltech Qt FAQ,
