Can you tell me anywhere at all that I can verify this assertion?  I
cannot find the text of any post-1.0 draft or even any description
of one, anywhere on the Net, and Trolltech do not currently appear to
have anything but the original 1.0 text.  

I see Eirik Eng talking at several points about dropping QPL's patch and
developer-access clauses; those are and were to the best of my
recollection the sole compatibility obstacles.

I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm just saying that I'd rather see
something objectively verifiable and real than merely the still glowing
embers of past interpersonal flamewars -- and I note that the Trolltech
guys _did_ seem to not quite grasp the issue during the discussions
surrounding the 1.0-release timeframe.
