The original users of the license, TrollTech, have dual-licensed KDE under the GPL; asking other users of the QPL to follow their lead seems completely reasonable. We've asked many software authors to do similar things in the past, with very frequent success, and less laughter and anger than you seem to think. Why do you think such a suggestion would be ridiculed in this case? I think many upstream software authors are much more rational and reasonable than you're giving them credit for. -- Glenn Maynard
