Please don't confuse commercial and proprietary. Companies like KDAB do a lot 
of commercial Free Software development, and a lot of commercial proprietary 
development, some of it using Free Software. libkleo, which is one of the 
bones of contention here, was in fact largely developed as part of a 
commercial project, as you well know. And in addition to personal beliefs of 
the authors, there are also solid business reasons to keep it GPL, not LGPL., 
interestingly. :)

But let's stop this thread, it's not productive.
