I claim it's not obvious that the use of cervisia is okay then. On one hand, quanta only uses the KPart functions and does not recast as an explicit cervisia part, so quanta is using the generic kpart interface. On the other hand, quanta is in fact requiring this specific non-GPL part, since the plugin that ships with quanta is explicitly configured to open libcervisiapart.so. Ben.
