Aah, now I see it. You don't even use Qt's dockwidgets :)

Yes, thats really a great feature.

We already have that, its called Area in Sublime.

Why not? Why has Designer dockwidgets then ;)

Thats all sources of an application. kdelibs policy states that a
library is not allowed to use a license other than lgpl or bsd without
the clause. See http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy 

Oh and I forgot X11 license :)

Yes I know that page talks about libraries inside kdelibs, but in the
discussions about creating the kdevplatform module it was already
pointed out that the module has to follow those policies and we already
agreed (here on the list) to make kdevplatform libraries lgpl.

Anyway, this particular part can be discussed once we decided the way to
go.
