Please try to get all the facts in order before making baseless accusations
of everyone trying to "reject any form of settlement". Developers from
both sides are talking, not much is being done because the man who we
really need to talk to, Matthias Ettrich (he did the GIMP qt "port") is
on vacation.

Also note that the issue isn't just licensing. There also the problem
that simple developer courtesy was ignored, which irked many people.

Having said this, it's really time to end this dicussion until Matthias
Ettrich comes back. Nothing is going to be solved till then.
