You didn't know that KDE contributors who passed away are buried with a flag 
with the logo of the KDE local group on it? ;-)

I don't know the indian flag code, but what came to my mind first when seeing 
the charkra was the K, surrounded with the charkra instead of the gears (or 
something between gears and charkra), using the safrane, white, green color 
combination in some way.

Would that be legal and acceptable, if yes, is that a good idea?

Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is 
"right" or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's not go there. We don't base 
our morality on law. - Linus Torvalds
