And what is with
"3. Developers not agreeing with the licensing at all"?

I suppose this is what aacid was refering to.
And as he has mentioned before he is one that opposes such a move, with good 
reasons.

And no a svn blame would not be enough, you would have to track down the whole 
history. Because derivative work would not be allowed!

Who would track that all down and who would rewrite code that would need 
rewriting?

Imo this would end up as a waste of time, better to modularize KDE on its own, 
than to move as much as possible into Qt.
