Bottom line is that Debian has publicly supported QT2's license. If not then
how
about clearing this issue up publicly, have you or not?
The conclusion that we came to, I believe, is that Qt 2.0 is DFSG-free
(Open Source). That doesn't mean that it's GPL compatible (it's not,
IIRC)), which is a separate issue.
Please read the debian-legal archives for more information. You can
find them at
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/
The most relevant months are Nov and Dec 1998. There may also be some
relevant messages in the debian-devel archive.
I am not trying to say that Qt is a bad library or that its licensing
is bad in some way, BTW. But its license is not compatible with the
GPL.
