KItemModels

kcheckableproxymodel.(cpp|h) is Stephen Kelly (and, for safety, David
Faure).

modeltest.(cpp|h) were taken from Qt Concurrent, and subsequently
modified by Stephen Kelly, and touched by David Faure and Aurélien
Gâteau (but I don't think the latter two count as copyright holders,
judging from the commit messages).

David is on record as being happy with relicensing to LGPLv2+ (with or
without the e.V. clause) - see relicensecheck.pl in kde:kde-dev-scripts.

KJS

propertydescriptor.(cpp|h) is Bernd Buschinski.  Possibly also David
Faure (although, as already noted, David's code is not an issue).  git
log runs out early, though, so more investigation might be needed.

Solid

predicate_parser.(c|h) are false positives (Bison-generated; the
skeleton has a license exception).

other files: Ivan Čukić.  Touched by me (not enough for me to hold any
copyright, though) and Volker Krause (arguably the same, but he's on
record as being happy with LGPLv2+ anyway, although without the e.V.
clause).
