I don't agree with Stephan's interpretation, and I think $Id$ tags should be 
completely eradicated.
The fact that nobody actually objected on kde-core-devel for his own
code (ah, don't we all miss Alex Zepeda?:)) shows that either nobody really 
minds, or that coolo's answer made them think they were safe. So I
vote for asking again and proceeding, this time.

OTOH this is a relatively minor issue. Certainly not one worth changing the 
policies for, IMHO.
