Oh, please, this issue is so old that I can't believe it's still brought
up.  QT has been GPL since v2.2 (released in 2000).  The current KDE
that comes in Feisty is linked against QT v3.3 (the FAQ talks about
v2).  I believe KDE 2.0 started using QT 2.2
(http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-1.94.php).
Also, I'm pretty sure Debian 3.0 (Woody, released July 2002) included KDE.
