Aha, uz mi to docvaklo - vy jste asi mel v souvislosti s diskuzi
o kdelibs na mysli to, ze soft, ktery linkuje kdelibs musi linkovat i qt
a tudiz nemuze byt closed. Hm, tak to vypada, ze s KDE se muze linkovat
jenom takovy soft s licenci, ktera zarucuje poskytnuti zdrojovych kodu.
Takze LGPL ma v tomto pripade pouze ten efekt, ze nic nebrani vytvareni
KDE aplikaci treba s BSD licenci.
