Description Damian Ivanov 2018-10-16 12:22:51 UTC

Parts of Konsole are used to make 
https://github.com/lxqt/qtermwidget?files=1
Above is a library but can't be LGPL due few of the used Konsole files are GPL only. 

Any chance that these files get relicensed to LGPL so that libqtermwidget can be linked against?

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2018-10-20 21:49:22 UTC

Per https://community.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy, it seems possible to re-license the library components to LGPL.

Damian are you able to confirm Nate's above reply resolves your query in relation to the library licensing?

Comment 3 Damian Ivanov 2020-11-03 08:29:09 UTC

Justin, I thought there was something that would've happened, like re-licensing it to LGPL, meanwhile I've moved forward and used a different solution, but yes it answers the question. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the update Damian.
