I hope it's OK if you hear *one* word about the GPL. And this is it. Given
the problems the KDE people have had with the GPL, it's time to approach
them and ask them to consider relicensing it for FreeBSD under the 
two-clause Berkeley license. They might be delighted to, after the hell 
they've endured from Red Hat, Debian, and the GPL hard-liners.
