For the record, the reason Werner put wv2 on sourceforget wasn't a legal 
reason, but the hope that the users of wv including abiword, would upgrade to 
wv2 and help with its development.

But since this never happened and seems very unlikely by now, I think moving 
wv2 to koffice is a good idea indeed.
