KDE's New Licence Policy
KDE's licence policy was created some years ago and has worked well in specifying what is for the most part pretty obvious, all KDE code should be free. With the new GNU GPL it was time to update the policy to ensure all code can link to GPL 3. I also added policies for non-code (icons, docs) which had not been specified before. Old licences (Artistic, QPL) were removed and there are versions of the header texts for those who don't trust the FSF to keep future GPL versions free but still allow us to use them when they are.
KDE e.V. today adopted the new Licensing Policy. Take a look at it and do remember to use the new header texts in new files.
