I think your agreement would be enough ;) The idea is clear and comes from documentation. Otherwise I'd simplify the code to smth similar to Silas Parker's solution with just me as an author. May be I'll mention link to his solution in a comment.

I'm not Qt programmer, just contributer. I said that this is not my code and they asked me for your response. If it is not difficult for you, please.
But if they agreed to include the class to QWidgets, would you like to became Qt contributer?
