Motif and Windows are exempted in the GPL as parts of the operating
system. The difference in interpretation between Motif and Qt has
been mooted before and rms has most clearly stated that Qt does not
qualify. Qt code must be GPL-able (eg, already GPL), or you may not
link GPLed code with it (and distribute the result; you may do what
you want on your own machine, as always).
I still don't get it. Why do we _care_ what rms thinks? Surely that's why we
work on XEmacs rather than Emacs. What difference does his _permission_
make. I though XEmacs was an abortion in his eyes anyway.
Very confused.
