I'll add an extra comment about this in the copyright file and close this issue in the next upload. Something like: KDE software follows the KDE licensing policy that can be found: https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy Some files might refer to license names that are explained it these the mentioned policy. . Unless otherwise noted the default license used in this framework is LGPL-2.1+ for the source code. Some of the optional xml and js files used at runtime are under a version of the GPL license. . In particular, this licensing allows this project to link against libgit2 (which may, in turn, link against the openssl, which has incompatibilities with the GPL), as the linkable code per se is under a version of the LGPL.
