Hi,

I'm working to port KioFuse to KDE4 with the hope that it will be
incorporated into kdelibs. According to the KDE licensing policy
(http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy), code residing in
kdelibs must be licensed as LGPL or a more permissive license. You
(Alexander Neundorf and Kévin 'ervin' Ottens) hold copyright on the
following files in KioFuse:

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/jobhelpers.h
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/basejobhelper.cpp
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/kiofuseapp.cpp
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/basejobhelper.h
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/kiofuseapp.h
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/main.cpp
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/kiofuseops.cpp
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/kiofuseops.h
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse/jobhelpers.cpp

Would you agree to a change of license on these files from:

"This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 
 
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by  

the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or     

(at your option) any later version."

to 

"This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version."?

Thank you very much for your consideration,

Vlad Codrea
