I believe Qt had its own licensing issues, but that was resolved some time

My preferred browser is Opera, which I believe uses Qt  (and I notice doesn't
come with Debian, but that may be because of Opera's own licensing terms).

It definitely is a license issue. Opera isn't Open Source or Free Software by any stretch of the imagination, so it is not even close to DFSG compliant.


If commercial distros like Red Hat and Mandrake do include it, I'd be curious as to the terms under which it is provided (since Opera appears to be shareware, with an ad-ware sort-of-free-price variant).
