I've been struggling with that apparent inconsistency since the whole
Qt/KDE controversy began. If it's OK to distribute GPLed software linked
against Motif, why is it not OK if it's linked against Qt? If it's not OK
to distribute GPLed software linked against Qt, why is it OK to do so if
it's linked against Motif? I have never understood the distinction.
