           Summary: shared-desktop-ontologies is a licensing mess and not
                    compatible with LGPL as a whole
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: luke-jr+kdebugs@utopios.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Unspecified parts of shared-desktop-ontologies are licensed under the CCPL
Attribution 3.0 license, which is not compatible with the LGPL as a dependency,
and is arguably non-free.


Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
KDE is not legally clear, and possibly requires non-free software.

Expected Results:  
KDE should not require possibly non-free software, nor should it be legally
questionable to distribute.
