I love this Gnome is more friendly to closed source development. Isn't that what we should be avoiding???? KDE uses Qt with is GPL. Pure freedom there, not the LGPL which allows closed source apps to pollute our system. It is a sad day that the Gnome people boast that being able to make closed source apps is a benefit.
Quoting the page you linked to:
Step 2: Analyze each library using LSB criteria (http://www.linuxbase.org/futures/criteria/index.html). Certain candidates like openssl, libqt are dropped
Note that all that is work in progress, not at all the final word on the matter.
Sorry to be replying to my own post, but this is relevant: the LSB explanation of why libQT doesn't meet the criteria: http://www.linuxbase.org/futures/ideas/issues/libqt/
(of course this is all off-topic, but nonetheless interesting)
