Huh?  LOL!


The really strange thing is that the Qt bashers that come up with this crazy
stuff have nothing bad to say about the Linux kernel which is released
under the GPL rather than a "freer" license (which to the FSF folks is a
joke in itself), as many wanted it to, yet it has succeeded far more than
the "more permissively" licensed BSD clones have.  So if the GPL isn't free
enough for you, why aren't you using FreeBSD?  :)

Newsflash:  To people who believe in Free Software as opposed to Open
Source, the GPL IS THE BEST LICENSE THERE IS, and Qt's success has nothing
to do with its licensing, it has to do with the fact that Qt is the best
designed and certainly best documented *CROSS-PLATFORM* GUI widget library
available under any license, especially their new Qt4, and all the bad
mouthing in the world won't change that.
