Not only KDE. Qt is available under LGPL and GPL, so everyone has that right.

KDE is prepared for such a case and has an agreement that is stronger then GPL https://kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.php
I'm aware of the agreement. But even without this agreement anyone can make a fork and publish his/her own version of Qt under GPL and LGPL.
