Hi!

What is the preferred license for libraries in extragear. The files I have 
looked at have GPL 2+ licenses headers.

At the moment libksane is GPL 2+, while libkscan is LGPL 2+. Personally I 
think the right license for libksane is "LGPL version 2.1 or version 3 or 
later versions approved by the membership of KDE e.V.". 

If nobody objects to it, I will change the license of libksane according to 
the "LGPL Header" outlined on:
