Even if so, this would not be a problem. LyX still works with xforms,
doesn't it. In this case the Qt code may be dead ballast, but nobody
forbids me to write 'void foo() {} int main() {}' which happens to contain
unused code and links against virtual any non-free library out there.

In any case, the GPL is about distribution, not usage. So if I opt for
'let the user do it' everything is fine.
