Thanks for pointing this out.  It is a problem since that file is 
derived from Qt's (QPL'd/GPL'd) qdatetime.h.  GPL sec. 2b 
says that derived works must be licensed under the GPL.  The 
QPL has similar language restricting derived works to the QPL.

So I don't see a way to LGPL extdatetime.(h|cpp), 
unfortunately.  The same applies to extdatetimeedit.(h|cpp).

Jason
