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.
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-11-03 06:35:26 UTC 
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.
