Neil, I know you are a "free software fan", and your opinions are based on
that.

This will probably not affect any free software at all.

After all, why would someone develop using Qt if he can develop using KDE?

The only answer I have to that is: he wants his code to be multiplatform.

If he wants his code to be multiplatform, his app is not going to be a KDE
app anyway.
