I think thats quite a difficult point as I read GPL. There is a certain interaction
between your code and the library at link time (it tries to resolve symbols and stuff from the library and there could be inline code and data structures in the header). The GPL only says that you are bound to its clauses if you distribute- so whatever you do in receiving and operating the software you have no obligations. How about this one; // This file is distributed under GPL v3 only
#include "qstring.h"
int main(void){
QString foo;
}

Are you telling me that this post/me is now infringing trolltech - I don't even have a copy of QT let alone agreed to be subject to its license :)

UK's Blair Dismisses Online Anti ID-Card Petition 377

An anonymous reader writes "Prime Minister Tony Blair has responded personally via email to 28,000 online petitioners opposing the UK's planned identity card scheme, and has closed the online petition. The email reads: 'We live in a world in which people, money and information are more mobile than ever before. Terrorists and international criminal gangs increasingly exploit this to move undetected across borders and to disappear within countries. Terrorists routinely use multiple identities — up to 50 at a time... ID cards which contain biometric recognition details and which are linked to a National Identity Register will make this much more difficult.'"
