As far as I know most issues have been resolved in trunk, yes. Not everything, 
though.  I'm sure some code in kofficelibs still is problematic.  But I aimed 
to supersede that code.
I've been keeping an eye on the commits to make sure no new problems get in, 
and apart from some imported code that has the old FSF address, I didn't spot 
anything.

That would be good, yes.

And at the same time I'd love to get a common goal for the KOffice team to 
make sure that the kofficelibs stay LGPLv2+ (i.e. include the "or later").  
At least make sure that any new file going in kofficelibs has this license. 
This really is the only way we can keep to the goal of establishing KOffice 
as a platform for people to build on, now and in the future.
