I would be in favor of
	kate/interfaces		LGPL
	kate/app		GPL

The problem is that plugins need to link against the lib created in
kate/app :(

I'm not that happy with releasing the whole app LGPL, but it might be
the only way for the creation of non GPL plugins anyway (at least with
the current linking) without licence conflicts.

Do what you like, although I'm not really happy with LGPL, it would be
okay for me.

I think we already decided some time ago to remove all "any newer"
parts. Don't know why those are still there
	1) We were to lazy to fix the headers
	2) We changed the licence header styles and forgot to remove the 		"any
newer" parts
