> Copyleft is a great way of assuring freedom. MySQL is an excellent example on how non-copyleft open licenses may give you freedom in practice but end meaning the end of a product. QT is going the same road.

Can you elaborate on this? According to Wikipedia[1], MySQL is licensed under GPLv2, and iirc that is a copyleft license?
