My "agenda", in neat bite-size pieces: - To see an end to GPL violations within the KDE project, to the benefit of all (and so I don't have to hear about it anymore..) - To see KDE in Debian main If that is completely self-serving, bad for KDE, or bad for Debian, then something is wrong here. There is another item on my little agenda which is of very personal interest for me: - To have Qt happily co-exist with code written under the GPL so that my own code may be used with Qt without extra permission or preventing me from incorporating 3rd party code into my applications. That's even less likely I fear, even though that alone would almost completely resolve the other issues instantly and is also in the best interests of anyone who wants to write code that uses Qt under the GPL. I believe I have written all of this many many times before. There it is again, take it how you will. -- Joseph Carter GnuPG key 1024D/DCF9DAB3 Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org/) 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC The QuakeForge Project (http://quakeforge.net/) 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 I am dyslexic of Borg.
