Hi,

KDE has more then relicense rights, check the document content: http://ev.kde.org/resources/FLA-prefab.pdf
Of course I still have the copyright on my work :)


Cheers,
BogDan.

I really tried to move bugtracker to kde but I received a lot of negative feedback e.g. why do I have to create another account there (sf.net can use openid), why do I have to tell you if my distro is rpm or deb based, or if I install it from sources, etc. You see these questions are not useful for necessitas project, and I don't know if KDE sysadmins can remove them *ONLY* for Necessitas project
