Editorial A KDE developer tipped me off to a recent thread discussed in the kde-core-devel mailing list regarding interoperability between KDE and Gnome. OSNews featured an interview with the usability experts from Gnome and KDE a few days ago and we expected that the spirit of co-operation would continue to get stronger every day. Luckily this is true regarding most of these developers, but not for all of them are sharing it. Here is a commentary on the issue followed by a summary of the long thread.

> QT has to go LGPL or RH will keep build Gnome.

Why do you think QT has to go LGPL ? The creators of QT did a big gift to the public already by GPL'ing the code and I personally have no issues with it. Let RH contibue working on GNOME the natural darwinism selection will let the strong and fast one survive in this case KDE because GNOME will need a bunch of years to keep up at least with 5% of the functionality that KDE offers today.

IMPORTANT REQUEST
I would welcome everyone to change the objective of this conversation and that we start looking behind GNOME and KDE, let's compare both systems from developers view of things, this will clear up all sorts of understanding problems. Let's compare both desctops for their documentation, clean implementation, code, speed of application creation and other things.
