Perhaps KDE, Inc could provide the kde-cygwin team with resources for the
appropriate Qt licenses so a native Qt/Windows KDE could be developed. While
it would require a Qt/Windows license to compile, we could still release the
source under an open license and encourage third party application developers
to use KDE because they can even use the KDE classes for their cross-platform
applications.
