A copyright license is a promise not to sue for infringement provided that
the terms of the license are complied with.  The KDE authors could, I
suppose, sue someone who redistributed KDE for failing to provide a copy of
the QT source licensed to permit distribution of modified versions.  They'd
be laughed out of court, but to to get rid of some of this FUD they should
be willing to add a paragraph to the license.

Read Oliver's posting.  He's spot on.
