    You know I've read on one website's forum. People are still complaining about the LGPL. They want Qt to be BSD, MIT or whatever. Some people are never grateful for anything. I don't see why it should be BSD, MIT. What? They want to make a fork of it? Like the people over at wxWidgets wanting a wxQt o_O. Kinda retarded.

    But hey look at it this way too. More people that move to Qt will probably find this site and join so more business for us ^_^

    If they want to fork, they can do that with the GPL or LGPL edition as well as it was the case with Qt/Win and Qt3.

    They basically just want the "do what the fuck you want" kinda license. No copyright left backs etc

    There is nothing to stop them. They can start a new project, work on it and release in under DWTFYW licence. If it becomes better than Qt, that's fine.
