OK, I've reinstated that sentence but swapped versions to say: Note: code may not be copied from Qt into KDE Platform as Qt is LGPL 3 only which would prevent it being used under LGPL 2.1 > > Added: > > ''Applications which are intended to be run on a server'' can be > > licenced under the GNU AGPL 3.0 or later > > Rationale: KDE Store code is under AGPL > > Question: should this be an option or a requirement for server software? > > Not a requirement.

No need to force copyleft. The previous requirement was the copyleft GNU FDL so there's no change there. I've added "or compatible licence". I've also added a note "Note: CC-BY-SA 4.0 can be converted to LGPL 3." > > Removed: > > Standalone media files CC 4..

I've also removed the requiment for the files to be "standalone" as with CC4 being compatible to GPL 3 they can be mixed with code if it's a GPL3 project. https://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Policies%2FLicensing_Policy%2FDraft&type=revision&diff=74119&oldid=74112 Jonathan
