About the KWidgetsAddons license: I see that most files have "2 or later", but
indeed
kmessagebox.cpp (at least) says "2 only".
Changing that to "2 or 3", says kde-dev-scripts/relicensecheck.pl, would need
permission
from 9 people:

I have been playing that game with karchive for a while (chasing people and
asking them
for permission), I'll do a few more, but I have a feeling it won't work out
(e.g. already tried contacting N. Goutte).
Anyway.
I thought most of the time, icons were not actually licensed under the same
license as the
code they're in, but the license of the theme they come from - e.g. oxygen is
LGPL v3.
However in t he case of pinentry I have no idea - was the icon made by a KDE
artist, or an external contributor?
