Let me repeat once again: you don't have all the information.

There are further uses of Qt, hinted even at public comments, but I cannot and 
will not go into detail. Since you're missing that information, you cannot 
reach the proper conclusions. It's not your fault, no one can expect you to 
reach those conclusions without the necessary information.

Now, I do have that information and I am telling you: the conclusion I have is 
different.
