Hi Thomas,

While converting the messagelib license headers to SPDX format, some files 
were marked as ambiguous by the conversion tool.

Some files you wrote long ago need some clarification. [1]
The license header states the files are LGPL-2.0-only or LGPL-3.0-only but 
have an incorrect KDE e.V. clause, ie:
« at the discretion of KDE e.V. ( which shall act as a proxy as in section 14 
of the GPLv3 ), any later version. »

As these files are LGPL, the correct e.V. clause shall be:
« or any later version accepted by the membership of KDE e.V. (or its
successor approved by the membership of KDE e.V.), which shall
act as a proxy defined in Section 6 of version 3 of the license. » 

Are you ok if I make these changes to the files listed below?

Thanks.
