Qt Creator is currently licensed as GPLv3, however there are exceptions

http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/LICENSE.GPL3-EXCEPT

Second exceptions gives you permission to distiribute combined work
consisting of Qt Creator and your binary-only plugins as long as you share
modifications that you've made in Qt Creator's code. Please read original
license text, and also you may want to consult lawyer.
