If freeqt gets finished, and the binaries when combined with freeqt
constitute work, then we could ship most of those binaries. 

At the moment, we're rather hard-put to ship the source for the freeqt
stuff, let alone the binaries.  And there's no way we'll be able to get
the combination of kde+freeqt debugged before the release deadline.

Meanwhile, there's still some non-free software in kde (mimesupport).
