I'm gonna leave the BSD vs GPL debate to the flame pit known as Usenet.  
Suffice to say that I prefer the freedoms of BSD-type licenses, as a 
commercial developer.

That being said, the whole kcad screensaver is based off of a screenshot of 
the cad screensaver in Windows NT.  However, this isn't the default "look" 
that you get with the screensaver.  (And, no, I don't have a configuration 
dialog.  Neither does the NT "version" of this screensaver... ;)

Also, I hope that most KDE users who use a screensaver this sarcastic know 
not to press ctrl-alt-del to log in.  :)

This software is meant purely for entertainment purposes.  I would be happy 
to contribute the code, in its entirety, to whichever part of the KDE 
project it belongs.

Keep up the great work!
