IMHO theKompany feels that their software is "better" than anything
else in CVS which might be true; they want to get more PR and ultimately
$ by seeming to support KDE, but don't want to pay the "piper" TINSTAAFL
If they decide to keep their source in CVS then they will also HAVE to accept
that their "precious" code might be broken from time to time.
