It's nice, a Debian-free alternative exists. Good thing.
Qt's pretense? By saying this, you're imposing Debian's definition of
free onto the world. Maybe the fear is that another definition of
"Free" will continue to used in much of the software community.
I like the Debian definition of free. I don't like the dogmatism
that some Debian developers exhibit.
