Well, no.

I happen to like those "scum sucking, bottom-feeding lawyers" better
than people who take The GIMP source code, change from GTK to QT,
against
the wishes of The GIMP's authors.

The use of QT places a restriction on The GIMP source code which the
original
authors did not want and do not want.
