One question: There are several KDE developers with Professional Qt
licenses out there. Would it be possible, to write e.g. the koffice apps
in a relatively 'Windows-compatible' way (of course they still run on
Unix). Would it then be possible to have some 'QTpro developer' (say
Kalle) do some fine-tuning and release the binaries for Windows?

Or do *all* developers have to have a professional license, not just
those who do the port to Windows?
If not, perhaps KDE e.V. could buy the licenses and offer the Windows
binaries.

Of course I don't know if porting kdelibs is a feasible task for a small
number of developers.

Just an idea...
