I've always had an allergic reaction whenever people
describe J. Random
C++ Code as 'bloated'.  Especially when the code in question
has been
shown to be very effective in the embedded hardware space
(QTEmbedded).

How, precisely, is the GPL a 'restrictive' license?  I don't
mean to be
dense, but I just don't see it.

Fair point... I was thinking in terms of MacOS - to use QT
you need
about 2Mb of libraries.  However, on my Linux machine I
didn't consider
it bloat as I already need it for KDE.
