Regardless of the license you chose for your code, the effective license for 
any KDE binary is GPLv2, because that's the most restrictive license in the 
entire chain. It comes from Qt.

The LGPL (or any other less restrictive license) is only applicable to the 
source code itself, of each component individually. Once you build, the GPLv2 
kicks in.
