I think the issue of Qt licensing, and the debate it stirs up, is a lot
of tilting at windmills. KDE is Qt's big chance at success, and I have
no doubt that Troll will go to any length to cooperate with KDE to make
it a viably-distributable system. A reasonable and acceptable
negotiation could be made, in my estimation, with Troll, if SEUL became
promising.

Motif (and Lesstif, by extension) is, IMHO, an unacceptable widget
system. Just opinion.
