Instead, some in dialogs (which are needed) and two files in tests (which aren't necessarily needed) are annotated at the top to be GPL. The files in sheets/dialogs/ imply that Sheets turns into GPL unless you rewrite those ui files. This is a bit sad and silly because rewriting a .ui file is of course not difficult, and at the same time it means that using a non-patched Calligra/sheets/* with just the CMakeFile.txt adaptations to turn it into a public library with a mini SDK by exposing its .h files; isn't possible (I would have to make the .ui files again). > for the LGPL copyright.

I answered I myself: because of the .ui files I can't assume this (I know, sorry, the coffee is now being applied to the developer). I however wonder whether you guys are ok with relicensing? :-) > These files have the GNU General Public License instead of the GNU > Library General Public License.

But perhaps the command missed a file?
