Hi folks,

We are trying to use the QxOrm library[1] into Plasma Media Center, the
latter having LGPL v2 code for application logic libraries and GPLv2 code
for GUI bits. Sysadmin suggested that it might be a problem because QxOrm
is a GPLv3 library and we're linking to it.

Any idea if this will be okay or a problem? The current code resides in a
branch at [2].

Cheers,
