The LGPL would let us distribute KDE linked with Qt. Of course,
that wouldn't solve the problem of stuff that was written by other
people under the GPL. Also, we don't know if the KDE authors would
be happy with some of the other things that can be done with the
LGPL (like: stuff it into a proprietary program, as a component).
