Read the licence. Qt lib is definately not gpl or DFSG compliant. KDE is non-free and belongs in non-free. If Troll Tech feels so inclined to review and change thier licence to be compliant with the GPL they are free to do so. Same for GIF and the WU licence
You don't understand, the Debian project has put great effort into preparing Debian GNU/Linux and Corel agreed to allow the distribution of the DSFG software in thier dist according to those guidelines. Non-discrimination is part of the DSFG. the >18 clause in thier liscence violates the DSFG. This is the entirety of Debian's (and Bruce's) complaint. Debian is happy with the work that Corel is doing towards creating a wider acceptance of Linux and Free Software. But the addional restrictions in thier liscence threaten the validity of the GPL.
