Taken from our irc channel:

[19:36] <eelik> Nokia has announced that starting with version 4.5, Qt 
will be available under the LGPL 2.1.
[19:37] <eelik> It doesn't affect BibleTime, but is very very interesting
[19:37] <tabthorpe> what is the implications of that, eelik ?
[19:39] <eelik> It will probably cause many new projects to choose Qt 
over any other library
[19:39] <tabthorpe> ok,good
[19:39] * tabthorpe needs to read up
[19:39] <tabthorpe> freebsd currently is shying away from gpl 3
[19:40] <eelik> It means that developers will be more interested in Qt, 
and it may mean more potential developers for us
[19:40] <tabthorpe> that is a good thing!
[19:40] <superfly> a number of my friends have started celebrating the 
demise of GTK ;-)
