They actually did email me, so we can do something now.. I said I'd add an exclusion for QT/QPL or something - but I really don't know what a practical wording for such an exclusion would be. Could someone cook one up? Remember they are also linking to KDE libs and I'm not keen on just a blanket 'anything called QT' statement either.. Jason
