Hi Thijs & d-mentors all,
Maybe you can address these things in your next version. Because of these are small issues I've uploaded this version now.
(damn spam filters, I've noticed only now...) Upload of anymeal in unstable has been rejected by FTP master due to this: rejected, you miss to mention the different license of the documentation, and as thats GFDL you need to check if its one thats allowed in main. I've checked in the code by found reference of LGPL only in acinclude.m4 and admin/acinclude.m4.in that have a copyright note in their top as: dnl This file is part of the KDE libraries/packages dnl Copyright (C) 1997 Janos Farkas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) dnl (C) 1997,98,99 Stephan Kulow ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) dnl This file is free software; you can redistribute it and/or dnl modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public dnl License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either dnl version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. dnl This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, dnl but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of dnl MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

What is the best way to check for different licenses in upstream package? I usually check every source files for their licenses, but not every file... Should I check all af them? There are some script/automatic tool you are (as mentors whole :) using to check for licenses (something I thing even ftpmaster used to check). But keeping in this situation: how should I manage that LGPL license?
