KDE is not based on Debian in any way. Emilio Lopes <Emilio.Lopes@Physik.TU-Muenchen.DE> writes: > AJ> as the gnome project is the direct opponent of kde, this is an > ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ > Uh??

Sure, but we *say* we will use the money we get from one project to support a replacement project. That's not nice at all. Instead we should say that we'll remove the non-free character from KDE by removing the need for Qt. Therefor we should say, that we support the development of a free Qt. The focus should be on the lib and not on the desctop environment. I hope that we're able to express ourselves in a way, where nobody in the more or less free software world is feeling insulted.
