As far as I understand the policies, libkgoogle is a subject to point 5, which
says
Any other source files must be licensed under one of the terms listed under 4)
or one of the following terms
* GPL version 2 as listed in kdelibs/COPYING or later
* GPL version 2 or version 3 or later versions approved by the membership of
KDE e.V.
* ...
I understand the second item as "either GPLv2 or GPLv3 or any later approved
version", so GPLv3+ should be OK too, right?
But if GPLv3+ should really be a problem, I'm OK with downgrading the license
(I guess I'll have to ask others who contributed).

Thanks, I'll remove it.
