If nobody sees a better solution, I'd move it to playground and extragear and let the users decide if they want to have it. We can add a warning or something on the README or cmake output.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">* GPL 2 only code: As far as I understand it's only a matter of having KDAB's code relicensed, which David already did, so we can move it forward already? Or we need Manuel?</div><div class="gmail_extra" style>
* LGPL 2 code: I'm unsure why it's a problem. It's because we should change them to LGPL2+, right?</div><div class="gmail_extra" style><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>Thanks Jonathan for looking into this!</div>
