They actually did email me, so we can do something now.. I said I'd add an
exclusion for QT/QPL or something - but I really don't know what a
practical wording for such an exclusion would be.
Could someone cook one up? Remember they are also linking to KDE libs and
I'm not keen on just a blanket 'anything called QT' statement either..
