May I ask what's wrong in KDE and Qt licensing? KDE SC uses LGPL license for libraries and GPL for applications, so it's better than Gnome where some applications are MIT licensed - Banshee. As for Qt you are free to choose between GPL, LGPL and Commercial Developer License.

I think jmorris42 is recalling the days before Qt was available under the GPL. That was quite a long time ago, of course.

Yup, back in the long ago mist shrouded elder days. Back when RMS was (correctly) preaching the evils of depending on Qt instead of flogging the dead GNU/Linux horse. :)
