I wrote an email to him and this was his answer :

Yes, I should have added the MIT license to it, though keep in mind it's
really really old code and may not even work that well these days...
Hi Geoff,
i'm the debian maintainer of typo3 and now faced with a license problem
with your qtobject code. typo3 includes this module but your license is
not free enough for debian.
i got the following bugreport:

I want to ask you if you could rerelease this code under a license,
that is on this list of dsfg compatible licenses:

Thank you in advance.

Sure this doesn't suffice to be a license change, does it?
I asked him to change the license more offically on his website and
now i'm waiting for some reply.
