reddit r_KDE uses KDE logo in LGBT colors

[Jonathan Riddell]

Yes it is legal for KDE to use KDE's logo in any way we want to.  We want
to support KDE contributors and users who are LGBTQI+.  If it blocks people
from funding KDE then we do not want their money.  That you have to ask
shows we still have a long way to go in showing support for an important
issue which affects many people.
