After Nokia purchsed Trolltech last year, doubts arose about how Nokia would handle the dual licensing model of Qt, the advanced cross-platform toolkit which lies at the base of the KDE Free software desktop. As it turns out, these doubts were unfounded, as Nokia today announced it's going to add the LGPL to Qt's licensing model, starting with Qt 4.5.

So I am in fact not free to do whatever I want, such as license it under a BSD license. It's not about if there's any harm done or not, if it's fair or whatever. At the end of the day, I am not free to do "whatever I want". And that's by design but people should not say that it allows me to do whatever I want when it in fact does not.
