Please revert, as I did not see agreement on kde-core-devel or any
discussion at all on kde-www, the proper place to discuss this stuff. We
have a hotspot for a reason. Currently there is only one thing hurting the
KDE project by hindering its distribution: not a patent, but this commit.

<rant>
I can come up with many things that can be considered a threat to the
development of free software. Perhaps we can redirect to the website of the
US military until Korea has been disarmed? Perhaps a dedication to Pim
Fortuyn until the AEL has been dismantled so sharia law won't eradicate free
software in Europe? Block the website until each and every KDE contributor has
financial security for the rest of his life-time?
</rant>

Please, use the hotspot. The 20 second redirect is way too short for
non-English speakers (why weren't the native KDE changed likewise?) and most
readers will stop reading after "page closed" anyway.

Even without any political arguments, this is simply not how www.kde.org
should look like.
