Qt Exception license

Hello Licensing Gurus:

I believe due to the new Qt 4 licensing we no longer need the following verbage cluttering up
our source files.  Can the Qt exception be removed from all our source files in trunk now?

"....
   In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give
    permission to link the code of this library with any edition of
    the Qt library by Trolltech AS, Norway (or with modified versions
    of Qt that use the same license as Qt), and distribute linked
    combinations including the two.  You must obey the GNU General
    Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than
    Qt.  If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to
    your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so.  If
    you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from
    your version."

Please CC: me or k-c-d on the response as I am not (nor do I want to be) subscribed to this list.
