 no particular reason. probably because i was working on libplasma a lot and
 just copied over the license headers between files as i was working on
 examples, such as the time engine. and like mono (the kissing disease, not
 the
 oss project) it just spread from there ... =P


Are you saying that the LGPL/GPL is a viral license?

 Hi,

 I think that these files need to be relicensed to LGPL:

Are dataengines really considered libraries?  Theres no actual linking
that occurs.. right?  GPL should be just fine for them.

 favicons
 filebrowserengine
 sensoragent.h
 sensorclient.h
 sensorshellagent
 sensormanager
 sensorsocketagent

 (These files are located in kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines/)

 Bye,

yes, i don't see any need to change the license on them.

Hi,

We need to relicense to LGPL these files too:
* kdebase/workspace/plasma/runners/
PowerDevilRunner
shell_config

*kdebase/workspace/libs/libplasmaclock
clocknumber (I think that we can kill this one, it seems almost unuseful)
clockapplet

Bye,
Davide Bettio.
