Hi,

in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20486 it was stated that a Qt/KDE port of SWT cannot be released due to licensing issues with GPL. For some time now, Trolltech defines GPL exceptions (http://trolltech.com/products/qt/gplexception) which seem to allow such a thing, since the Eclipse Public License is explicitly listed there.

Could someone in the know clarify what the Eclipse Foundation's official stance is here?

Thanks for any comments,
Jörg
