I would like to see if I get the right picture, and introduce who's unaware to some short explanation about licensing:
- Who uses GPLed sources for his projects has to distribute under gpl.
- Who uses LGPL can afterwards distribute under the same LGPL, increasing to GPL or pay for the commercial licensing for commercial distribution.
Are you talking about modifying and redistributing GPL/LGPL code, or just writing your own app that uses GPL or LGPL libraries?

if I develop with QT, (lgpl) i should distribute my software for free under LGPL or GPL.
Qt is a bad example for illustration, it's available under GPL, LGPL and commercial licences so you can take your pick.
