This hasn't come through to kde-licensing yet, even though it was sent 
yesterday.  So I'm forwarding it.

The text of the attention is:

ATTENTION: This code is based on the class QSortFilterProxyModel created 
by Trolltech ASA.

The code of QSortFilterProxyModel is GPL or TrollTech Commercial.  The 
code of KCategorizedSortFilterProxyModel is LGPL.

Rafael: what is it supposed mean?  It's obviously inherited from 
QSortFilterProxyModel, but anyone reading the code can see that.

If some of the code is from qsortfilterproxymodel.cpp from Qt, that is 
GPL code, and the full file comes under the GPL.  You can make your 
additions/changes LGPL, but that doesn't change the overall license.  
And GPL code can't be in kdelibs (at least, not in a library as this 
is).

In addition, if some of the code comes from qsortfilterproxymodel.cpp, 
you need to reproduce the license at the top of that file.

====================


SVN commit 710768 by ereslibre:

Add KCategorizedSortFilterProxyModel to kdelibs. Further changes will 
follow on KDirSortFilterProxyModel and Dolphin (KCategorizedView and 
other classes) for fully usage of this class.

I would like to know if the ATTENTION on the Copyright block is OK, for 
that reason I'm forwarding this to kde-licensing.
