If you in the the camp that believes that the QPL is not GPL compatible (e.g. the FSF), then it's unnerving to see Troll bundle a GPLed application that links to Qt in the same tar file. It spreads the confusion that implicit permission to link to Qt is nice and dandy.
Of course, that works to Troll's advantage, so I'm not surprised they did it. I am surprised that RMS doesn't mind too much.

ADSL or cable is the same price (if you own the modem).
I have Telus ADSL and download at 150KB/s for CDN$30 per month.That's about $20 US.
So Debian not only has sparc support, it uses it internally.
Why is this a story now?
Lots of people talked about that in Tuesday's story.

The GPL needed this in the beginning because there were no free OSes at the time.
Are you saying that V2 is GPL compatible?
It's vapor-license for now, so what do we know.
