Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Changes
-------

Installs the licenses to a KF5-specific prefix, and breaks out the standard paths code to so that we only have to change a single line when we update prefix for KF6.


Bugs: 353939

Repository: kcoreaddons


Description
-------

This change fixes a regression from KDE 4 by importing the license texts from KDE4's kdelibs for the non-GPL licenses and for FSF's *GPL licenses downloading the plain text directly from the source. I don't see the licenses in any other KF5 module, and KCoreAddons is what hosts KAboutLicense/KAboutData so it makes sense to land here.

This permits the "License: $foo" hyperlink in the KAboutDialog to work properly as well (previously there'd be a blank spot where the license would be, now it shows up".

Since I was working here I added LGPL v2.1 as a separate license, since it has slightly different requirements to the old LGPL v2.0 (and obviously, to LGPL v3). I can make that part a separate RR (or just leave it out, I don't know of any apps using LGPL v2.1 off hand).

Testing
-------

Compiles, and installs. Once installed, apps have their licenses show up when those licenses are in the set of well-known licenses we provide.


Thanks,

Michael Pyne
