    =P
    But if everyone can stop maintaining their own installer, it frees up resources for other projects...

      Never had such issue with Ubiquity, using it for eight years.

        Translation: It uses a widely used, mature, cross platform and copyleft toolkit that you endlessly hate and troll on. Therefore in your warped world it is useless/unworthy/whatever. I'm shocked.

          Yes it is, unless somehow being under a quad-licence including LGPL3/GPL3 is somehow not copyleft. If you genuinely believe so, I'm sure the FSF would love to know.

            You seem to forget that localized keyboards often have different layouts. Typing English on a German keyboard for example is a pain, since English '/' is where German '_' is, '=' is where "?" is, etc.
            It can even make installation impossible if you need to install via WIFI and the WIFI passcode phrase contains native letters like ä, ö, ü, or ß.
            Have fun finding these on your English keyboard layout.

            EDIT: But I agree, if one has a serious problem with it, that person should file a bug report.

              Can you contribute to QT without waivering of the Freedom rights to what is upstreamed? No! Because of the CLA.

              So.. The answer is NO. QT is not copyleft. It might be that you like QT just as others like other commercial stuff like Windows or MacOS but please dont confuse that with True Freedom.

              So in a nutshell it doesn't fit what *your* idea of copyleft should be. Oh well.

                Wut? There is no upstream/downstream, the whole project has multiple licenses, so yes it is copyleft, and it is also proprietary.
