Badly phrased, yes, I think 2) is more like: 2) Can be self-contained shipped in an application bundle (self-installer/mac app bundle). > 3) non-existing stuff? really? Let's rephrase it as: "Frameworks will > only be advertised as available on a platform if they are just require > Qt or other available dependencies on the platform".

Yeah, 3) is perhaps more like: 3) Frameworks shall require only libraries shipped with the target operating system per default (which is quiet well defined on Win/Mac, but not that well defined on Linux). That additional stuff might be useful/recommended is clear, IMHO, like you can have nice git integration if you have libgit2 for KTextEditor, but it works without.
