The part of Konsole that constitutes the `libkonsole' library is |
|
|
|
|
subject of the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (LGPL) with |
|
|
|
|
the above permission included. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're a freeware author and in need of any changes to the |
|
|
|
|
libkonsole for your work, the usual send-me-the-patch procedure |
|
|
|
|
applies. |

One might wonder about the complication of the license of Konsole |
|
|
|
|
and it's parts, so some explanation is needed for the ones who take |
|
|
|
|
care of this. |

Because QT (on which the whole KDE bases) is a non-GPL library a |
|
|
|
|
lot of concerns have been mentioned, one of them making Debian and |
|
|
|
|
others to stop distributing KDE. As a result of this, authors of other |
|
|
|
|
parts of KDE have moved to the Artistic License. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now since some of these authors might want to reuse the core parts |
|
|
|
|
of Konsole (and i encourage them to do so), i have formally to enable |
|
|
|
|
them by putting these parts under a different license (LGPL for |
|
|
|
|
these authors and an extra permission for Debian). |
