LGPL compatible licence is needed for Frameworks etc, to quote from
above "*Source
files* that are part of a library with a public API which is part of the
KDE Platform (kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kde-runtime and KDE Frameworks)".

But if it's a standalone library that's fine to be GPL, it's up to the apps
to make sure they're happy with that restriction/protection and most will
be.
