Description Damian Ivanov 2020-04-15 17:07:42 UTC 
I am building a standalone version (QNetworkManager) without widgets/kcm for general usage withing Qt applications.

uiutils.h and uiutils.cpp taint the library part with GPL (not LGPL) code.
If possible re-license these 2 files as LGPL.
Comment 1 Jan Grulich 2020-04-16 06:01:21 UTC 
I think it should be possible, you will just need approval from everyone who contributed to UiUtils. Feel free to send an email to all contributors (including me) and once everyone agree, we can proceed next.

Damian, thanks for reporting this. Did you manage to get consent from all the existing code authors to re-license?
