	I agree with Scott. KMLDonkey is not an illegal program but a program which 
main use is doing illegal stuff. By integrating it in KDExtragear, the KDE 
Project is taking a legal and moral liability that we may wish we had not 
took.

	My solution would be to keep the actual statu quo but explain to KMplayer's 
contributors that in case of legal attacks on KMLDonkey, the KDE project will 
have no solution but to take the code out of CVS and that the KDE project 
will not do any promotion for the software, id est, it is up to them to 
promote their program.

	My guess, is that by adopting a low profile, the KDE project is taking little 
risk. The File Sharing legal mess is certainly going to be settled in the 
next years.

Cheers,
Charles
