Hi,

I am getting so confused by this thread I must say (and by the overall 
tone of it).
Could someone summarize
1/ which part of the following breeze subdirectories would be concerned 
by the change ? (I keep hearing about icons, but they are not in the 
same repo, and by qtquickcontrols but I thought this was handled 
elsewhere and passed to the QStyle, while the directory here is just a 
"preview" of how breeze should look)

- cursors
- kdecoration
- kstyle
- lookandfeel.dark
- misc
- printing
- qtquickcontrols

2/ what would be the reason and use case for making the change, and for 
instance what someone would effectively do with say breeze/kstyle being 
LGPL that he/she cannot do with it being GPL. (in clear, concrete words, 
with example)

3/ which projects presently are in jeopardy, how and why ? (again: 
clear/simple words please)

Sorry if this was already said elsewhere, but the thread is already 
long, a lot of things have been said, and a lot has been chopped.

Thanks,

Hugo
