afaiu, 
this is the license for the "source code" of qtcreator, isn't it?
this has nothing to do with using qtcreator in it's binary released version.
if you want to use qtcreator code itself, you're bound to this license.
but if you just use qtcreator, just use it. its free.

you can use qtcreator to develop whatever you want.
if it happen to be a qt app, it has nothing to do with the license of the used qt library,
nor has it anything to do with licenses of other libraries you use.

qtcreator is just a tool you use.
you're free to use executables build from free open source software whereever you want.
