Hi Maxy, as the kglobalaccel maintainer I'm very surprised by your change. The framework MUST be LGPL, because it's a framework. How come that you decided that it is GPL? What is wrong? What needs fixing? I'm especially surprised by the language. There are no po files in this repository - how can it change the license? I'm surprised that you didn't raise any concerns on the mailing list or contacted me as the maintainer. Given that it is a framework it should have been obvious that there is a mistake somewhere and that changing to GPLv2 clearly cannot be the solution. Can we look into solving the root issue here?

Such a contradiction means you cannot > +use both them and the Library together in an executable that you > +distribute. > + > + 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the > +Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library > +facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined > +library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on > +the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise > +permitted, and provided that you do these two things: > + > + a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work > + based on the Library, uncombined with any other library > + facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the > + Sections above. > + > + b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact > + that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining > + where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. > + > + 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute > +the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any > +attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or > +distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your > +rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, > +or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses > +terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. > + > + 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not > +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or > +distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are > +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by > +modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the > +Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and > +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying > +the Library or works based on it. > + > + 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the > +Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the > +original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library > +subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further > +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. > +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to > +this License. > + > + 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent > +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), > +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or > +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not > +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot > +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this > +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you > +may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent > +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by > +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then > +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to > +refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. > + > +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any > +particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, > +and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. > + > +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any > +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any > +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the > +integrity of the free software distribution system which is > +implemented by public license practices.

If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in > +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the > +original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add > +an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those > countries, +so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries > not thus +excluded.
