Doesn't solve a point: Then BadGuys Inc. will just make a small demo
demonstrating how the cool library can be used.

Probably. But even if this is ok, it is not really acceptable to the KDE
people or BadGuys Inc. because their typical target group doesn't have a
compiler on the system.
(I know, NOW the typical KDE user has a compiler, but wait till KDE
moves into the enduser desktop market. Applying a patch and compiling
is a definite not good here. We are talking about people here that are
to stupid to install software using InstallShield. And yes, I know at
least one person whom I had to tell about SETUP.EXE on the CD, ...)
