QPL and Artistic are not GPL-compatible, so we start again the license 
discussion, as with CPL.

And it must specified that the BSD is without ad or it is again 
GPL-incompatible.

And so on... 

So no new KDE4 application should use such licenses (or any other 
non-GPL-compatible license).

As for existing KDE4 applications, I do not know. Probably we should create a 
own module with module that can run only with KDE4 for X11.

Have a nice day!
