Yes, but the question here is not whether the code is GPL'd or whether
you own it but whether it was written "while using" the Qt open source
edition.  It has nothing to do with the copyright or licensing status
of the code, it's just an arbitrary and surprisingly vague restriction
contained in the commercial licensing agreement.
