RedHat will ship KDE in their contrib section what I've heard. It may be,
that I would have stated more clearer, that the SOURCES are GPL and the
binaries are under the "leave me alone" license.
But it's definitly cool. When I started with Linux I thought, I could do
everything I want with it, but now that I started developing, it looks,
GPL is more restrictive than free.
