I fail to follow you why Breeze QStyle should be a framework. No framework should depend on it, Breeze QStyle is a plugin and it's only getting loaded by either setting an env variable manually or using the Plasma QPT plugin which is not in Frameworks either. Anyway on the question of whether to relicense to LGPL you should ask the copyright holders and I doubt you found them here on frameworks-devel as Breeze is not a framework. I'm one of the copyright holders and as I don't understand why you want it relicensed I would not agree to it. I think GPL is the proper license for our workspace components. Cheers Martin
