Torsten, Everaldo et al,

Here is version 5 of the license notice. I guess it is quite final. I just 
made the little change I wrote about in the e-mail of 31/8:

""
The standard notices contain: "either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your 
option) any later version."  The guy said: say, the FSF goes broke, the 
remains are bought by microsoft, how will the next version of the LGPL look 
like? It's a bit academic, I guess this scenario is over my dead body for 
RMS, still, the save way is the drop "either ... or (at your option) any 
later version". 
""

Cordialemente,

Ante

    **** NOTE THIS ADD-ON ****
The GNU Lesser General Public License or LGPL is written for software libraries
in the first place. We expressly want the LGPL to be valid for this artwork
library too.

KDE vector icons is a special kind of software library, it is an
artwork library, it's elements can be used in a Graphical User Interface, or
GUI.
Source code, for this library means:
 - for vectors svg;
 - for pixels, if applicable, the multi-layered formats xcf or psd, or
otherwise png.
The LGPL in some sections obliges you to make the files carry notices. With
images this is in some cases impossible or hardly usefull. In this library, the
vector elements carry short notices, the pixel elements do not; a longer notice
is placed at a prominent place in the directory containing the elements. You may
follow this practice.
The exception in section 6 of the GNU Lesser General Public License covers
the use of elements of this art library in a GUI.
