Yep, when you can't be more specific - and for much of this being very general 
and 'KDE software' seems fine.

Btw, 'KDE software', not 'KDE Software' I think - i.e. no capitalisation of 
'software'. It's just software that is made by KDE, in much the same way as 
iTunes is Apple software not Apple Software.

a bit.

I think so. Giving back could include little things like bug reports, even 
posting things in the forum - certainly answering questions in the forum
