Sounds very interesting.

This is a VERY strange addition. I think it is
a) incompatible with the GPL, and as it links with at least Qt, this
makes Orange indistributable.
b) senseless, because if Orange is used in a scientific publication
they have to be mentioned anyways - maybe not with this exact paper,
but I am confident everybody uses that exact paper if they do not
oblige the users, but ask them to use this paper - not another.
This of course does not help with other publications like magazins
and such.
