Description Raymond Wooninck 2013-04-12 12:52:43 UTC 
The file lokalize/src/tm/qamodel.cpp has a pure GPL-3.0+ license notice. This is a bit unusual as the corresponding .h file offers the (fairly typical for KDE) license choice of either GPL-2.0 or GPL-3.0 (or later if allowed by KDE e.V.).

This was reported by the openSUSE legal team upon some of the licensing changes within the kdesdk package for 4.10.1. Therefore I would like to validate if the GPL-3.0+ license is indeed correct, as that the COPYING file indicates otherwise (GPL-2.0)

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Nick Shaforostoff 2013-04-12 14:15:49 UTC 
my intention is to have typical KDE license, i'd event transfer all my copyrights to KDE fundation when i get an opportunity (or free time) for this
Comment 2 Nick Shaforostoff 2013-04-12 14:16:37 UTC 
i'll change the license notice to the usual one soon...
Comment 3 Christophe Marin 2013-07-08 09:52:49 UTC 
ping ? This file is still gplv3
Comment 4 Raymond Wooninck 2014-02-07 09:36:53 UTC 
ping ? Even 10 months after the initial this small item is still not fixed as indicated !!
Comment 5 Adrián Chaves (Gallaecio) 2014-07-30 04:26:15 UTC 
It’s been more than 14 months now.

Nick, if you agree with the license change as you said, this should be as easy as:

sed -e "s/version 3 of the License/version 2 of the License/" -i src/tm/qamodel.cpp
