>Why would Trolltech possibly object to GPL v3? Trolltech comply with the provisions of the GPL, and Trolltech don't have any desire to sue Linux users ... so why on earth would Trolltech not simply go along with GPL v3?
We will see. At the end Trolltech has to decide but i expect that they will move to "GPLv2 or later" or "GPLv3 only" to allow KDE and other Free Software to update their license.
