It helps solve one of the big probs in the Linux community. It's also less
likely that an author of GPLware will be suing KDE and every dist except
debian for illegally using his software.

At least a couple have claimed to be waiting for that opportunity.

Also, it allows the Trolltech libraries to be more generically put into
use. Don't know if that's needed, but it's a good option.

The article about Sun you posted shows that license probs are
probs. Better to not have them :).
