Description Christophe Marin 2015-08-25 12:41:43 UTC
Noticed by the openSUSE legal team : 

« There are numerous GPL-2.0 matches in the source code. Are you sure this should be LGPL-2.1+? What about e.g. kdepimlibs-15.08.0/akonadi/src/core/newmailnotifierattribute.cpp (just one example)? »

Running licensecheck and removing the LGPL-2.1+ compatible files leads to this :

Comment 1 Volker Krause 2015-09-25 20:56:29 UTC
There's lots of tests (not packaged) and kioslave (quasi separate executables) code in that list, the relevant bits of actually wrongly licensed library code seem to be:

akonadi/src/core/notificationbus_p.* (Dan)
akonadi/src/core/newmailnotifierattribute.* (Laurent)
akonadi/src/core/pop3resourceattribute.* (Laurent)
akonadi/src/widgets/tagselectwidget.* (Christian)
