I am aware of this dual licensing announcement, but the history tells 
that this is not the first attempt from Trolltech (see version 2.2.3).
So we cannot be sure that QT 4.0.2, 4.1.0, ... will also be distributed 
with the same licensing terms. That's why I prefer to swich now : when 
everthing has to be done rather than later when Trolltech will decide of 
it. Moreover, my own experience shows that the QT Library is not a realy 
good library : it has very good stuf but it's not exciting and quite 
some bugy :-/
