Ghostscript's license [The aladdin license (APFL?)] is much more
restrictive than the QPL.  Besides when you compile QT, you'll get a
screen which shows how the QPL is mutually inclusive of the GPL.  So
I'd say there are not any issues like there were back in the day with
the Rasterman/deIcaza GTK/GNOME vs. Trolltech QT/KDE battles.  [Ahh
brings back memories...]

Cheers,
Nicholas

P.S. - Corinna already asked this question...  ;-)
