Hi,

have you some links to these applications?

I believe Jonathan will be referring to
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/kdiff-3-diff-utility/9ndvvx243rfh?activetab=pivot:overviewtab#

Hi, thanks for the link.

Guess such things are unavoidable.

If the uploading person is some KDE community member, I assume one could talk with him/her/...

Otherwise we must keep in mind we are open source and yes, this is possible.

(and perhaps promote the KDE e.V. uploaded stuff better)

Greetings
Christoph
