My guess is that they are taking shots at QT's dual licensing -- but
thinking about it -- is it a good idea for GNOME to talk about FREE more
than features or benefits of GNOME for the user -- i mean does the casual
user really care about the subtext of what free means? If you ask me -- joe
blow cares more about what he get from using it -- i mean if i can download
both for free -- why do i care about the LGPL? I care more about what lets
me do what i want with PC better

[I'm going to put Gnome focusing on free into the review =)]
