yes, the code was licensed under a non-Free license and as such couldn't be 
shipped with KDE as per the KDE license policy[1]

so kio_gopher and a few other bits of code under the same license were removed 
as the author didn't want to relicense them, which is of course fully within 
the author's rights.
