License Qt under the QPL and you can use pretty much any open source
license at no cost.

If DCOP uses only the non-GUI pieces of Qt, it is trivial to port them
over, since that is pretty much plain C++.
For example, in order to port a tool to AtheOS, one guy ported the non-GUI
Qt in about a week of afternoons.

It can. It is a bit more work, of course.
And as usual, if someone really really really wants it, he can do it ;-)
