    You might want to reread the QPL then.  The important point
    is clause 3 which prohibits distributing changes, unless they
    are provided as patches.  This is highly unpractical, because
    it even does not permit you to run a CVS server where
    something simple as browsing the CVS using Chora or doing a
    checkout would already constitute distributing the changes.
    So, any source-code which is under the QPL will hardly
    become a source for further external development, because the
    changes are unmaintainable.
From the annotated license: "Any technique is acceptable for keeping changes separate - generally, you would have to mark changes very clearly for them to be separate. We don't want to hard-code the idea that the form must be patches.
