qyoto: Files under Qt Preview licenses
¡Hola! Packaging qyoto for Debian we have found a number of files that have a Qt Preview licenses agreement disclaimer and no reference to a LGPL license option. Making those files non-free, so they would have to be removed from the debian packages. Which is kind of sad, knowing that the software which is based on have had diffrent licenses over the time. The files are mostly uic related, and it would be great if we could port the changes made to a LGPL released version of uic. Would you consider that feasible?

Yes, I think all of these headers should have an LGPL copyright notice in them - the preview license inclusion is just an oversight.

Arno wrote most of the Qyoto uic I think and so the final word is with him, but I personally agree they should be changed. The sources are from Qt 4.2 IIRC, so the code for uic should normally be GPL. To be honest, I don't know why those files have a Qt Preview license header. Guess I just skipped over the header back then. If it is legally possible to just change the license to (L)GPL, I'm all for that, but I'm no lawyer.
