Baloo Framework - License Exception

Hey guys

I would like to promote Baloo to be a framework for 5.6.

All of Baloo's code is LGPL, however, we internally use Xapian as a full
text index (GPL). This would make Baloo GPL. Could we have an exception for
now?

We have been looking into alternatives since we have a rather large share
of problems with Xapian [1]. But this will take time, I'm not too keen on
switching to something on a whim without proper testing. Plus, it would be
a substantially large change.
