If I understood what these comments about 'killing freedom' mean (after removing some trolling layers) more or less they relate to: - Exclusiveness of the Qt Free Edition for X11 (so what about mobile Qt? Casual reader would think there are separate codebases for different Qt targets) - Exclusiveness of the protection to KDE (may be a misconception that the foundation equals KDE? BSD or other licenses are not KDE-exclusive otherwise wouldn't be approved by OSI) I'd like to ask about comments, explanation, especially that these comments stay not answered.
