Someone (KDE folks I think) started work on Free version of Qt, and it ended up on agreement between KDE and Trolltech at the time that Qt shell be remain avialable under GPL license. Gnome was a reaction to KDE to build a desktop on a completely Free toolkit, and was answer to KDE guys choosing Qt as a base for the desktop. I am not sure if I am correct about, something amongst those lines.
