Thats interesting, I swear QT did that for years.  They don't anymore, 
but it didn't make KDE and QT being in Debian main.

I'm not talking about restrictive licensing, I'm talking about merely 
*not* giving out sourcecode that bridges the app to Win32 or Palm or 
whathaveyou.  I'm not talking about licenses that restrict the ability 
write your own way to bridge to windows land.  Since the owners of the 
code can license to themselves any which way they want, theres also no 
issues by redistributing their own binaries with proprietary code 
either. (see: openoffice/staroffice)

Thanks,
