I have been asked several times in the past why I have an aversion from
the KDE project. I often answer that I have to many things I dislike
about the interface and organization, and to the more politicly aware
linux users I explain my other ideological problems with their cathedral
practices and license problems. I have just read an item that annoyed me
even more about their disregarding of the GPL conditions.
(scroll to fourth item)

I have reached a decision to do away with KDE on systems I'll install
from now on. I may install applications based on QT if I must, but only
from source I suppose. I wish useful products like Konqueror are ported
to GTk somehow one day.
feel free to comment, but don't make this into a religious war between
KDE and other competitors, this is about license violations and
ideologies.
