Troll lets you distribute patches. Granted, that's awkward, but
it works. And besides, I have little doubt that a bunch of
free-software-savvy developers like the trolls would both
abandon Qt _and_ leave its license unchanged. I grant that it
is possible, but not likely enough to worry about.

I think you are overstating the license issue. I think what made
Linux popular was (1) a charismatic, intelligent (not just in coding),
and personable leader; (2) a general willingness to distribute
binaries of various utilities, lowering the hurdles for newbies; and
(3) the appeal of the New Thing for neophiles. The political
correctness of its license drew the GNUnatic fringe, but not the masses.
