Hi,
By accident or not, very the same week I noticed concerns (probably
from the other camp) on reddit [1] and phoronix [2] about the KDE Free
Qt Foundation. 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.
