Hmm, yes. But don't you find a contradiction between the statement of the kde-
core-dev about kdelibs to be LGPL and the statement in the kdelibs-packages to 
be GPL? Shouldn't it be stated there that unless something else, here we have 
LGPL  as this is the license policy for kdelibs?

I am not good at licenses... I just happen to get bogged into this, that I see 
as a contradictory statement...

Cheers,
Peter
