The OSS license doesn't grant you any support from Trolltech, does it?

Of course not. But I could totally see Trolltech getting critical bugfix requests from people "promising" to pay the commercial license once they launch.

I would totally understand the response eventually turning into "yeah, we'll fix your bug, but put your money where your mouth is", which is where they are today.
