Subject: licensing issues with kword
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=koffice&m=96201953418045

Hello,

    i have a question  about kword licensing. it's released under the
GPL, but the partnership with Kaiwal Software will allow GPL and
LGPL contributions. So this partership seems to affect the licensing of
kword. I am wrong?
nota: this post may seem terribly boring and like "oh another one gpl
fanatic" and so on, but you may be interested in reading
http://www.xemacs.org/About/XEmacsVsGNUemacs.html
This kind of blurred licensing can prove to be very harmful to the
community (hence, xemacs is clearly superior to emacs, but many people
use emacs because of these licensing issues).
    So, maybe if you want to go ahead and include some lgpled code,
these portions of code should be marked or whatever.

i'm not willing to give you more job or to tell you what you should do,
this post is just a mere *question*.

whatever the answer, thank you for all you did with koffice, and keep up
the good job.
