Universities of all places should prefer open source tools and should release their projects as open source. Licensing sounds like an excuse to justify your choice.

  Last time I checked, Qt was GPL/LGPL/Commercial. You can use the LGPL license just fine as long as you statically link the so/dll files. I do understand not wanting to have to verify/check your obligations, of course. Still, Qt is a fantastic piece of software and a number of companies that I know of use the LGPL version just fine.

      Yes, as long as you do dynamic linking Qt is free to use.
