Don't get your hopes up. KDE is a desktop environment (which is where the DE comes from), so it relies pretty heavily on an X Server. My advice: If you want KDE, use linux.
If you use QT under the GPL then you have to release the source code of your software under the GPL as well. KDE isn't affected because all of their stuff is GPL, though commercial companies might have a bit of a problem with being forced to give away their source, and thus are forced to buy a commercial license.
I read their privacy policy and eula. It seems that they make their money through coorperate ventures and partnerships with companies like Sherman with Kazaa (though this is where their relationship ends - they share no . . . ethical qualities). There definitely is no spyware/adware, logging/sale of phone calls, or sale of private information indicated
In Sourceforge, the GPL accounts for 41410 out of 62416 projects, which is approx 66.3% of all projects. The BSD license accounts for 4297 projects, which is about a tenth of what the GPL has. I'm saying that the source code is useless for most of the open source world. I don't really care whether it's "free" (as in beer) or not - my (admittedly short and vague) argument had nothing to do with that. I was talking about free as in speech.
If over two thirds of the projects in the largest repository of open source works can't use the source code, then usually (unless the reason is that it offers more freedoms, which the CDDL does not), I don't like the license.
It's going to be released under CDDL if anything. This in itself denies its use by most of the open source world. *sigh* why does Sun have to keep on trying to destroy Linux and the GPL?
Skype is by the guy who created the fast-track network. He sold it to Sherman Networks (was there an intermediate?) who added all the spyware/adware/logging. This is Sherman Networks, not the devs of Skype. I.E. I very much doubt that these actions are being taken at skype.
You can't see a sillier accepted patent than the "circular transportation facilitation device" patented in Australia. If you think that your patent system is stuffed, with the addition of software patents that seem likely in Australia our patent system will be thoroughly rooted.
This is an example of the brilliant hoax first devised by "Naked Came The Stranger" (first link in Google), where a group of reporters wrote a book deliberately designed to be bad to show the crap and lack of taste that was coming out of the trashy romantic novel genre. At least 2 explicit sexual acts per chapter, the more deviant the better. Good writing and grammer were to be thoroughly sponged out of the book. They hired the sister of one of the writers I think to play the author and go around on TV shows saying rediculous stuff supposedly to promote the book.
The funny thing was that the book was published and then became so popular and the money grew so much that they spilled their guts and told the world about the hoax.
Why? Don't you think if you kill the mother, father, children and siblings of a person they'll be slightly pissed off? I'd say a person of that situation with a personal reason to attack a country would be more of a danger to security than someone who's politically motivated, as were the Soviets in the Cold War. However, when you kill hundreds of thousands of civilians, you quite easily make a personal grudge out of just about anyone.
I wonder how the number of US Soldiers that were killed by Iraqi Military doing their job contrasts to the number of US Soldiers that were killed by Iraqi Civilians.
Compare to the War on Terror where casualties have been measued in the thousands
That is misleading and/or incorrect. The correct statement is: Compare to the War on Terror where American casualties have been measued in the thousands
You could just as easily say "Someone tell the Americans that the rest of the English speaking world don't have a u in colour, honour, etc". Anyway, if other people don't include the apostrophe, then gramatically, they are wrong.

If you look at the status, the reason why the text is a few pixels lower is because the a is bolded. Interesting, I wonder why that happens?

If you read my post again, you might realise I was saying that there isn't any spyware/adware in Skype. Sherman added the spyware to kazaa.

Wait a second . . . a fighting movie with Kylie Minogue and some girl named Julia? Sounds like my kind of movie!

sorry retract that. It was less than a year, but it was still beforehand!
uhem, the linux penguin has been around more well over a year before Super Mario 64. Sorry Nintendo, no case.
Alright! Free "this is a dupe" mod points!
God that's hilerious. I can see why it is a "used to date". I really can't believe it lasted very long!
every 14mb RAR will be shared except the last one.

No I think it's more like Cigarette companies saying Nicorette is bad for you because it contains Nicotine.

You're right, of course. Sorry 'bout that.
Convert US77c = $1
Other programs including OpenOffice and Abiword (including in linux) use unicode as well, so I'm not totally sure what it says about the developers.
