yes, that's much less than downloading all the KDE-base packages alone. btw., 
does the installer have an unistall feature yet?

hm, can be stripped down to "go ask somebody else" -- that didn't really help, 
did it?

in my understanding you don't have to actively *offer* the sources for GPL 
complience, but you must provide them to anyone who *asks* for it (see §3 b)). 
so in theory it should be sufficient to have a copy of the sources on the 
shelf and say so, in case someone want's to get them from you and is not happy 
with the identical copies on the KDE servers.

am i right?
