Do keep in mind that the FSF considers XEmacs/Qt illegal. I happen to
disagree with that, and believe that Motif and Qt are functionally at the
same level - if you can use one, you can use the other. However,
XEmacs/Qt might become *the* politically controversial application in the
free software world (but that's good for publicity!).

Well, the trolls have released all of the code as dual-licensed now. You
can choose either QPL or _real_ GPL. So people will finally argue about Qt
and GTK on technical merits, like OO just rocks and C sucks, instead of
about licensing terms. :)
The Free Edition is the Qt for Unix/X11 toolkit, licensed for development
of free/Open Source software. It includes the complete source code. As of
version 2.2, it is freely available under both the GPL and the QPL Open
Source licenses.
