Even most Debian people say that the demands to make code written for Qt
have a license clause has no legal basis. It will be amusing to see how
they react to a GPL Qt application from Troll Tech themselves ;-) If
they want to remove Qt because of this screw them - there is absolutely
no legal issues carrying with carrying it.

BTW, I am very happy that the Trolls made the designer free. It's a kick
butt app :)
