IT never ceases to amaze me that those who take and use products made from
the sweat of another man's brow have the FUCKING, UNMITIGATED, GALL to bitch
and whine like some fucking RED COMMUNIST when that person tries to make a
living from his work. I hope you're electricuted the next time you touch a
computer you sniveling little bastard.

It never ceases to amaze me how those who read Usenet have the FUCKING,
UNMITIGATED, GALL to go off half cocked when making assumptions.

I have no problem with folks making a living selling Qt.  I do have a
problem when they disguise it as free.  It is not.  If someone decides
they like it and are willing to pay for it, fine.  I just don't want
folks confused by the fact that it *appears* free when in reality it
is not.
