Too much deleted - I agree with pretty much every word Alex wrote.
The point is that the whole area is gray. Qt is not the EVIL with capital
letters that some people make it out to be: neither is KDE. There are
precedents for much "worse" libraries (ie Motif) being accepted silently
and without discussion.
The additional problem is that there is obviously much animosity
completely unrelated to copyrights between the gimp/kde people, with bad
blood between rival systems. The GPL was _meant_ to allow sharing of code,
and as such I find it disturbing that people are now using it to try to
force non-sharing.
