Thanks for note!
It is great that we get more Free Software.

You probably mean a "proprietary" license,
the GNU GPL does not forbit you to make money.

I have a question about the licensing:
This being GNU GPL means that it cannot be linked against the KDE 
components that demand the QT exception.
Wouldn't using the LGPL help to spread and improve this library?
