Since we (the KDEPIM developer) are the only guys which work in
kdepimlibs and Allan always have an eye on his baby I think such a mixed
usage you mentioned won't happen.

We just have to make sure that the developers which are using the
libraries know about the separation. So the header files should include the
correct licence header and the libxyz could contain '-gpl' in the name.

If somebody is using GPL code in a propritary software we can always ask
him kindly to change his dependency.

Ciao,
Tobias
