Nice conspiracy story. In the world (for ones without a clue - not it's not our world) where MySQL (with Sweden company as "sole owner of source code") is shunned by "big boys" from U.S. and PostgreSQL (without clear owner of development team at all just like GNOME) is exalted by the same "big boys" this story will even look plausible.

It's not a secret GNOME was started back then when KDE status was "in the air" and we only had "free Qt" which was not free at all. Later Qt adopted GPL, but... dies were cast: it was "too little, too late" type of deal. Hate of U.S. corporations has nothing to do with it. Qt is actually has more users then GTK - only KDE is having problems.
