http://developer.kde.org/documentation/licensing/policy.html states:

"3) Source files that are part of a library in kdelibs must be licensed 
under the terms of any of the following licenses:

  *) LGPL as listed in kdelibs/COPYING.LIB
  *) BSD license as listed below.
  *) X11 license as listed below."

As worded above it doesn't apply to libs outside kdelibs.

Cheers,
Waldo
