I didn't put a maintainer as I'm not particularly interested in that duty, for 
this port; I see it more as an additional KDE dependency. So please, do as you 
see fit.

Yeah, I notice that the google resources are LGPL3+ - Apple's allergy to that 
version begins to make me wonder if the project couldn't find a couple of 
"neutral" servers just to distribute those "tainted" ports (hint: there's 
already a network of mirrors ;))
Alternatively, maybe you can do the same as with kioslaves, lump the tainted 
components together in a port that would allow the "clean" majority to be 
distributed in binary form?

Cheers,
René.
