A conflict exists between KDE's license and the license of the Qt library KDE uses; as a result of this, the Debian project cannot distribute KDE. See e.g. http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19981008 http://freshmeat.net/news/2000/06/17/961300740.html http://freshmeat.net/news/2000/07/01/962510340.html http://freshmeat.net/news/2000/07/15/963719999.html HTH, Ray -- RUMOUR Believe all you hear.
