Hmm. Well, it's not allowed to put GPL code in anything not GPL (including
other free software licenses such as BSD). It's irritating that you
can't put Qt code in other software but I don't necessarily see that
as a big problem. The main thing we can now do is patch Qt and
distribute patched versions of Qt without having to talk to Trolltech.
I, personally, think that's close enough.
