Re: how about native Cocoa KDE port?

You can write BSD-licensed software and link to GPL'ed libraries. Just don't copy any GPL'ed code into your source.

If you're going to bitch, at least get your facts straight.

Pot-Kettle-Black. If you're going to defend, at least get your facts straight.

You can't do what you're claiming. See: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL

The GPL is viral. You link to a GPL'ed library, your entire program is now bound by the GPL. It's funny how many GPL supporters don't even know the GPL and can't be bothered to read the GPL FAQ.
