... in his "forgiveness" message, RMS urged any other copyright holders that were infringed by KDE to forgive any violations as well. It's true that the KDE authors wrote almost all the code themselves, but as Rick points out, not all of it. So thanks to Trolltech fixing the QT license as well as these acts of forgiveness, KDE became legally clean. Too bad that some bitterness remained, even to this day.
