reuse compliance and imported po/ (specifically for kde-inotify-survey)

[Andreas Cord-Landwehr]

Hi, Lokalize already has some automatism to update copyright information in 
terms if copyright holders. The problem is that what Lokalize parses and 
writes does not fit to the REUSE specification. I already have a merge request 
prepared that should, at least, resolve the situation for copyright owners:

https://invent.kde.org/sdk/lokalize/-/merge_requests/22

Yet, the situation for license statements is more complicated because it is 
not just a syntactic change but needs to be done by hand per project in order 
to fit the desired outbound license of the project.

Cheers,
Andreas
