To me, it is not that pointless. If the kdelibs are released with a license
policy LGPL I don't see why you should change it in the package, unless you
feel that you did something there that is GPL. From an OSS dev. it doesn't
matter, but for a OSV/ISV it might make a lot of sense to have LGPL vs GPL in
that text. My question still remains, why is it GPL and not LGPL there? :D
Thanks,
Peter
