KDevplatform has files which don't follow the KDE licencing policy of (L)GPL2+ shell/ has files which are GPL 2 only while plugins/subversion/kdevsvncpp is GPL 3+ they don't link together directly but they are a derived work of the same library so it's a bit of a legal grey area whether they can be distributed together. David F, Till and Manuel may I relicence your files in kdevplatform/shell/ to from GPL 2 only to GPL 2 or later? There's also a file which is copyright KDAB, David and Till are you able to grant me permission to relicence this? Much of the files copyright David Nolden is LGPL 2 also e.g. vcs/models/projectchangesmodel.cpp by Aleix Pol Gonzalez don't give much of a problem for distribution but don't follow the KDE licence policy Thanks all Jonathan _______________________________________________ KDevelop mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdevelop
