Well, I'm not against a relicensing from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2+ per say. That said, 
wanting to have KioFuse in kdelibs looks clearly misguided from a technical 
perspective... It's definitely not a library, and it really has nothing to do 
in kdelibs (apps don't have to use KioFuse, and shouldn't use it).

In short, I'm wondering what you're trying to achieve here.

Regards.
