I was going by the information in Wikipedia, which said GPL 2 and 3. LGPL 3-only has the same problem. LGPL 3 is GPL 3 with some specific extra permissions for linking with programs not under GPL 3. Due to those extra permissions, linking Qt with GPL4-Emacs won't violate the license of Qt. But linking GPL4-Emacs with Qt would violate the license of GPL4-Emacs, unless Qt qualifies as a "system library". If those Qt libraries are under LGPL 3-or-later, there will be no problem. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
