Not that different from how Qt was licensed for years and even with open governance Qt 
contributions will require giving Nokia the exclusive "right to relicense" (as opposed to

Canonical maintains the patch for the Qt 4.7 series. It can be applied to qt-copy and 
declared mandatory for KR 4.8, therefore distributions would have to ship it in order to 
have a "compliant" KR 4.8.
