Licensing shouldnt' worry you too much. In fact, the fact that QT is semi
commerical could be handy, if you want some sort of support down the
line...
Try out the OpenGL widgets for both of them, and see which is furthest
along - stability would be my main concern, to be honest.
And, bear in mind that though most people have GTK installed, not that
many people have QT installed.
