Hi, some comments about encoding detection (KEncodingDetector)

[wang kai]

Forgot to mention that: it's also compatible with LGPL v2 or later.
see http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/universalchardet/src/base/nsUniversalDetector.h
line 26,
it also says that we can delete some license's provisions to remove
its triple(MPL/GPL/LGPL) license and become a clean LGPL license.
its faq:
