I am wrong here, material _not derivated_ from the Trolltech sources
can be released under the GPL version 2 or later.


However, we do not host code that is released under the GPL version 2
only at Savannah. So for the files derivated from Trolltech's, we have
to find a solution.

A third solution would be to ask Trolltech.

To sum up, you used a set of files released under the GNU GPL version
2 only, and made derivated of them.

So we could ask Trolltech to release this set of files under the GPL
version 2 or any later version.

RMS said that people at the FSF are willing to ask this, and that
Trolltech might agree.

Do you want us to ask Trolltech?
