[kde-community] Request to join the Kde incubator for GCompris

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

In searching of a business model...
I understand that in case of GCompris content is king. Since it's
getting rewritten (minus the resources), at least scripts can be
published under any license suits the author, if you ask me, for
example *GPL-incompatble linux-only license. This separation is easier
to understand for the consumers than the story about source code.

/me looking at bodega-based distribution channels to enable that
because OS packaging is not a the best place for the multimedia
market.

Technically, it would be good if lessons are separated from the
core/engine. I understand this is largely the case especially after
"upgrading" to Qt Quick.
