I've been made aware that apparently kiten bundles some non-free content 
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969411 ), and it's taken me 
awhile to followup. sorry.

Anyway, per
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeedu/kiten/repository/revisions/master/changes/data/edrdg_license.html


"Note that the SKIP codes are under their own similar Creative Common
licence. See Jack Halpern's conditions of use(1) page. Note that commercial 
applications using the SKIP codes must have prior permission from Jack 
Halpern."

which is essentially CC-BY-NC-SA, but as far as I can tell, is not in 
compliance with kde licensing policies.

It would appear debian patches this out (2), but not sure of the reasoning 
(whether it's for licensing and/or to support external kanjidic)


Not sure of how best to proceed here, suggestions?  file a bug? contact the 
module maintainer(s)?
