Actually KDE is now completly GPLed, not imperfect as you put it.

This is what's happen when the main GNOME developper see all these people
making money and nobody wanting to pay his salary... I'm worried that by
grabing GNOME development to Helix/GNOME it calls for the dimiss of GNOME.
KDE with its imperfect licence is developped in EU, where software money
making scheme (SCAMS?) are less strong than in the US.
Cf Linux, cf KDE, cf Debian, cf Mandrake. vs Redhat, Corel, GNOME, and
Windows...

i'd guess that the folks at helix are far too busy writing press releases on
what they're "gettin ready to gonna do" to have time...today's, from miquel,
explains how they'll be selling weather reports for $3 - $5 a month...(a
certain money-maker)...that and that abiword is no longer of interest to
gnome/helix now that sun has dumped star office on them...
