IANAL, but if you don't redistribute Qt Creator or derivative or combined works
based on Qt Creator, you can use it under terms of GPL without any obligations
from your side. From official GPL FAQ:

Moreover, GPL even allows using modified versions of Qt Creator inside
your company without sharing these modifications, as long as you don't distribute
it outside in any form. From official GPL FAQ:
