I think it leads to a very murky licensing situation when people include GPL licensed code in code that is licensed "GPL+Qt-exception". That either constitutes unlawfull relicensing and/or the exception part is void from that point on. Given the average (lack of) licensing-awareness of KDE contributors, I think this is bound to create problems down the road because of the lack of distinction between GPL and GPL+Qt-exception. Instead of GPL+Qt-exception it might be clearer to use QPL or BSD instead. Cheers, Waldo -- [email protected] -=|[ SuSE, The Linux Desktop Experts ]|=- [email protected]
