oops, I was talking about the 3.5 branch.  I rewrote the classes in 
extdatetimeedit.h from scratch for 4.0, so there's no longer Qt code in 
there.  I would not object to making these classes LGPL.

ExtDateTime is more problematic.  The original effort for this class was 
developed by Michel Guitel, and it was essentially an extension of Qt 
classes.  You're right that they should mention this fact; I honestly thought 
that they did.  I will fix it. 

The good news is that KDE will probably soon have its own time/date class 
(KDateTime).  Then ExtDateTime can be redone, basing it on KDateTime instead 
of QDateTime.
