<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV>A few years ago Konqueror Embedded went through a relicensing phase initiated by Simon Hausmann in order to move the libraries from GPL to LGPL. Some of the code from KDE in particular was relicensed LGPL to GPL in the project, and had to be restored back to LGPL. Unfortunately 4 files were missed and we have three outstanding contributors that we need relicensing approval from. Notice was sent out over a week ago and we haven't heard anything back yet. The files and contributors are:<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><A href="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdenox/konq-embed/dropin/kio/">http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdenox/konq-embed/dropin/kio/</A></DIV><DIV>kprotocolmanager.cpp</DIV><DIV>launcher.cpp</DIV><DIV>launcher.h</DIV><DIV>mimehandler.cpp</DIV><DIV>(others?)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The contributors we need approval from are:</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:weis@kde.org">weis@kde.org</A></DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:eva@kde.org">eva@kde.org</A></DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:stefan.eilers@basyskom.de">stefan.eilers@basyskom.de</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I think it's best for everyone if we can get in touch with these people and encourage repairs of the relicensing. There are users out there expecting that this code is LGPL so this situation has to be fixed. If we don't have a solution real soon now (less than a week), I will rewrite the affected files from a point that was LGPL and replace them in svn. It's not good practice to lead our users to believe something is under a license that it is not so I consider this extremely high priority to repair - and I really don't feel like rewriting affected parts of those files.</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>--</DIV><DIV>George Staikos</DIV><DIV>KDE Developer<SPAN class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><A href="http://www.kde.org">http://www.kde.org</A>/</DIV><DIV>Staikos Computing Services Inc.<SPAN class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><A href="http://www.staikos.net">http://www.staikos.net</A>/</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
