OT [Cialug] Time for Suse funeral?

The Qt library that KDE uses has a dual-license, like MySQL and other 
stuff...

http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/licenses/LICENSE
http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/licensing.html

As I understand these (IANAL) they're fully free for OSS projects, but 
you need to license them if you're going to distribute it as a 
commercial project.
