Hey that's pretty generous of him - forgiving people for 'violations' they may have (but actually have not) committed. KDE does not and did not use any FSF copyrighted code, so the 'forgiveness' is meaningless.
I forgive you for anally raping my mother. There may not have been any violations commited, but if they were committed they've been forgiven. Thank you.
"This is about how various different people have contributed to KDE, and now the inner KDE organization/Troll Tech has decided to change their license. Without consulting the people who WROTE SOME OF THE FUCKING CODE!!"
You've missed the boat completely on this one - since QT was/is covered by the QPL, any code submitted by 3rd parties is subject to relicensing (for the commercial QT).
Also QT is still under the QPL - it is triple licensed under the QPL, GPL and the expensive commercial license.
