Fwd: [kde] Possible GPL violation by Armorware inc

[Unai Garro]

If it's based on GPL code, then not only the license must be intact, but also 
any source change must be made available in the most appropriate manner. 
Notice this doesn't only cover kde, but also any OS kernel it's based on ...

regards,

	Unai
