Please note that if you are the SWORD plugin, you must comply with the GNU General Public License (GPL) in addition to the MIT/X11 license. A FAQ about the GPL can be found here. The same may apply if it is using a version of Qt licensed under the GPL. To remove (at least some of) the Qt restrictions, you can either use a version under the QPL or buy a commercial license. Note that even under the QPL your program and/or modifications must be open source to use Qt. Only the commercial license lacks this restriction.
