kdelibs and the GPL

[Thomas Zander]

The reasoning as to _why_ this is a problem would be nice to hear.  I'm sure 
it would be a nice thing for companies to code against the kdelibs under the
LGPL licence instead of the GPL.  But your email suggest KDE is violating some
copyrights, am I missing something?

(limiting the cc to only the public lists)
