I'm confused. Where does this include GPL terms? It says "Library General Public License" twice. I only see "act as a proxy as in section 14 of the GPLv3" mentioning the GPL but that's just a reference to one notion in the GPL, it doesn't make the file GPL -- and I thought this was the standard way to express what relicensecheck.pl calls "lgplv23+eV" ? > For both files you are listed as the only copyright holder and I reviewed > that all other changes seem to be below the border of copyright holding. > Can you clarify the meaning of the license and/or comment in the follow > https://phabricator.kde.org/D27104 ? > > My suggested reading of this license is: > > SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.0-only OR LGPL-3.0-only OR LicenseRef-KDE- > Accepted-LGPL I don't know SPDX but this seems right to me. Unless I'm missing something, you'll find a TON of other files all over KDE source code using that exact same header. -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5
