Or would a "simple" GPL-and-link to-QT License alteration sofice ? I ask because the only item of concern for KDe are those few apps which have some GPLed code from other developers built in. ( KFloppy comes to mind ).
Can someone compile a listing of those authors for so they can all be asked to allow such a provision ? I personally can't see why any would refuse. Those who did would likely be a small minority with a limited amount of code. I.e. Somebody could rewrite those sections. Nobody seems to have noticed but there is a QPL-0.92 at HTTP://www.troll.no/qpl now. PS : Commercial software has production schedules. When is QT-2.0 due ?
