I do not understand Qt is GPL'ed so how can it be released under a BSD-style license |
Because Nokia owns the copyright on Qt after its purchase of Trolltech.

If you own all the copyrights on the code you can release it under any license you want even if you have previously released the code under the GPL. Trolltech was the sole owner of QT. If you contributed code to the QT project you had to assign your copyright to Trolltech. In fact, Trolltech dual licensed QT for some time. IIRC QT was free for GPL'd applications but if you wanted to use QT in a proprietary application, you had to pay a license fee to Trolltech.
