Hm, that's a tough problem. It's the questions how much our LGPL policy is 
worth. Who would use a LGPL library, but wouldn't use a GPL one? Would these 
people buy a commercial license of kdgantt? Does this kind of developer even 
exist?

In order to have a clean non-GPL lib module we probably have to leave out 
kdgantt for now.
