I think it leads to a very murky licensing situation when people include GPL 
licensed code in code that is licensed "GPL+Qt-exception". That either 
constitutes unlawfull relicensing and/or the exception part is void from that 
point on. Given the average (lack of) licensing-awareness of KDE 
contributors, I think this is bound to create problems down the road because 
of the lack of distinction between GPL and GPL+Qt-exception.

Instead of GPL+Qt-exception it might be clearer to use QPL or BSD instead.

Cheers,
Waldo
