Since when does the FSF "approve" of the QPL?  The GNU webpage at
	http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html	
says the following:

   The Qt Public License (QPL).

          This is a non-copyleft free software license which is
          incompatible with the GNU GPL. It also causes major
          practical inconvenience, because modified sources can
          only be distributed as patches.

          We recommend that you use QPL-covered software packages
          only when absolutely necessary, and certainly don't use
          the QPL for anything that you write.

This is hardly an indication of approval.
