Much of Kate is LGPL v2 only and this Pate stuff is LGPL v3 or later. addons/kate/close-except-like is also GPL 3 or later. GPL 2 is incompatible with LGPL 3 so Kate is probably not compatible with its own licence. Our policy says everything should be GPL 2 or 3 or later to ensure minimal problems with licence compatibility when sharing code around in KDE and to prevent issues like this.
