 Ok, I've re-released the last beta version of qktstreelist as version 1.0
(stable). I removed the GPL license and released the new version as public domain
with two simple restrictions on redistribution that should not conflict with any
of the other free software licenses out there. I really don't see how I could
release it LGPL, as it doesn't appear to qualify as a 'library' under that
copyright.

I have uploaded the new package to ftp.troll.no and hopefully they will move it
to /contrib shortly, though they seem to be ignoring this recently in favor of
QtScape ;-). Anyone needing this sooner can contact me directly and I'll mail it
to you ( about 28K ).

KDE please note: this is from my qktstreelist code base and will not have any
patches applied to it that may have been applied to ktreelist.
