This disagrees with the KDE licensing policy. Considering Apache-2.0 is similar to MIT, I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed by the policy. Is anyone aware of past discussions of the KDE licensing policy and reasoning behind this fact? The proposed addition to the policy section of https://community.kde.org/ Policies/Licensing_Policy would be: """ 4. Source files that are part of a library with a public API which is part of the KDE Platform (kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kde-runtime and KDE Frameworks) must be licensed under: ... [new bullet point] * Apache-2.0: Apache License 2.0 as listed below. """ What do you think? -- Alexander Potashev
