Hi,

Regarding the "meinproc replaces all licenses with GFDL" bug:  is it
possible to at least commit the current patch in #122465 ?

It seems we have now missed the KDE 3.5.2 tagging.  The bug as it currently
stands is quite serious (relicensing documentation without author consent).
The patch fixes this serious problem in most cases, and the main
outstanding issue is aesthetic (and it's not even "wrong", it's just a
case of the legal notice being printed on the title page in some cases
where the fdl-notice link could be used instead).

Apologies for pushing on this issue, but from what I can tell, the only
real way to get the incorrect licensing fixed on end user systems is to
have the distributions provide a fixed meinproc, which means getting a
patch into some stable KDE 3.5.x release.

Many thanks,

Ben.
