There are those who do, but in at least the case of one of them I know he's a bit preoccupied with a new addition to his family to worry about making the package. As for the others, I don't know. RevKrusty cares enough to host unofficial debs, but not enough to upload one of them to Debian it seems. You'll have to ask him. > It won't be OK to ship QT-2.2 with integrated Designer but we will > perform major hacks and possibly circumvent part of the QPL if > necessary. Wrong. If Qt 2.2 does not ship with a GPL compatible license, we will perform minor hacks if necessary and if possible. We will not circumvent the QPL. If we determine that we cannot perform minor hacks without circumventing the QPL, we will be forced to either start allowing implicit licenses against app established policy, convince Troll Tech to provide what we need from them, or if we can do nothing else, pull Qt and unfortunately things that depend on it. We will not violate the QPL just as we will not violate the GPL. -- 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 Granted, Win95's look wasn't all that new either - Apple tried to sue Microsoft for copying the Macintosh UI / trash can icon, until Microsoft pointed out that Apple got many of its Mac ideas (including the trash can icon) from Xerox ParcPlace.
