Sorry about the previous message I sent.  Qt is possibly not Free Software
yet.     One key characteristic of Free Software is to allow code reuse, 
and QPL does not allow reuse of Qt's code (i.e, you cannot take a part of 
Qt and put it into another program).

QPL is taking advantage of a bug in the Open source definition. It 
possibly is not truly in the spirit of Open Source.

Abandoning Harmony may not be the best thing for the Free Software community.
