CopperSpice is LGPL, not GPL.

It's not a problem.

Hmm. How could that be when it's based on Qt?

Qt is also available under the LGPL. There is no license advantage to using CopperSpice. I'm not sure what GP is referring to.

Some parts of Qt are GPL only.

True, but they are optional and are not the parts you need to create a GUI as per the requirements in the OP. I assume CopperSpice does not include these components.
