This is an X11/MIT style licence which is fine for KDE.

http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy#X11_License

Any files which you add this code to should have a header along the
lines of

"This file includes code from EasyStroke, Copyright (c) 2008-2009,
Thomas Jaeger <ThJaeger@gmail.com>"

Then paste the rest of
http://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/blob/master/LICENSE?raw=true
