Daniel and Adrien:

Thank you for developing QPackageKit, which is urgently needed in order to integrate KDE and modern Linux \
distributions. I noticed that several files are missing license headers or are licensed GPLv2 only. 

In order for QPackageKit to be part of KDE (specifically the kdeadmin module), it needs to be compatible \
with the GPLv3. KDE has taken this policy so that it can link to GPLv3-only software such as SAMBA. See \
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_Relicensing for more information.

The easiest way to make QPackageKit meet the KDE licensing guidelines is to license all files GPLv2+. \
Then you can just check the code into the KDE SVN repository ( \
http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Get_a_SVN_Account ), and the SVN hooks will let you know about any \
license incompatibilities.

Thank you,

Vlad
