Hi there,

I want to prodce commercial applications for KDE. Is it allowed to include 
the KDE-header-files (witch seem to be GPLed) and produce a NOT GPLed 
application?

I want to use the session-management-feature from KDE and the 
config-file-system witch is part of the normal KDE-Libs.

But these things are all GPL (or perhaps LGPL?). How is it possible to 
create commercial (closed source, or Opensource but not GPL) software for 
native KDE? I guess there must be a way to do so because otherwise KDE 
will never have success in the commercial world :-)

Thanks
Pietz
