[Kde-hardware-devel] HUPnP and libsolid Licenses - Would be it a problem?

[Tuomo Penttinen]

Hello all,

small side note first: I got the later messages in this thread, but as my
response is solely about the original question you asked, I'm replying
directly to this.

My original plan was to change the HUPnP license to LGPLv3 with the first
stable release if nothing comes up. However, I'll probably make the switch
with one of the upcoming betas, since personally I don't have much against
that and several people have contacted me already asking this same thing.
