KDE's New Licence Policy - kdedevelopers.org
KDE e.V. today adopted a new licensing policy for source code in KDE's Subversion repository, removing old licences (such as Artistic and QPL) and includes "versions of the header texts for those who don't trust the FSF to keep future GPL versions free but still allow us to use them when they are". In short, library source based on KDE Platform APIs ((kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdebase-runtime) must be LGPL 2.1 or 3, BSD (without ad clause), MIT or X11 licence, and other source must be one of the above or GPL 2, 3 or later. Full policy (at KDE TechBase) here.
