Abstract:
I develop an "hello world" example using QtGui and QtCore.
Now, I release my sources + the compiled program in my ftp server.

Are you sure my "hello world" is a Qt object code?
It's my object code, which is linking to Qt object code.

So, all you statement are (IMHO) right if we're talking about modified Qt 
source (I must provide with the Qt object the modified sources I used to 
compile it), but in the case of dynamic linking versus untouched Qt, you 
haven't such problem.

For the Phil's case, the LGPL allows dynamic linking versus proprietary 
software. Only if he modify Qt and distribuite a program which links to this 
modified version, he needs to provide Qt modified source code.
