Keep up the good work, guys.

My hope is that someday, some large company (with a "real" line of
business) will buy you guys out, and rerelease Qt under the GPL.  Then
we could use it.  :-)

Don't laugh - if you keep pulling stunts like Qtscape - you'll be
regarded as excellent buy-out stuff.  I hope you've got the "For Sale"
sign out front.  :-) 

Until then...

Cheers,

 - Jim
