A conflict exists between KDE's license and the license of the Qt library KDE uses; as a result of this, the Debian project cannot distribute KDE.

OF! Why not KDE in Debian
I was talking to a friend about the Gnome vs. KDE. After this matter I decided to try KDE out and found out that KDE is not in the Debian dist. Any reason why or is it just lack of package matainers ?
