yes that's what they want

that's what I want :)

no, the exception might look like "KolourPaint is allowed to link against 
KritaImage, given that it is not a binary only version and that the source 
are available under the BSD licence" We might want the input of some "real" 
lawyer or from the FSF (maybe they won't agree to help us for that particular 
item...). On the other hand that would kill the reason why KolourPaint is 
BSD...
