While I won't actually try to use this as an argument of fact, the
majority of people I've spoken to about this don't feel happy about
declaring the QPL non-free. It's also worth noting that historically
we've tended to agree with the FSF over whether a software license is
free or not. The fact that this has started to change recently suggests
that somebody's opinion is changing.
(The fact that the FSF declared the QPL a free software license really
quite a long time ago may offer some insight into who's changing here)
