--- Comment #3 from Dennis Worthem  ---
I noticed all the other source code files in 
/kdenetwork-4.8.4/kopete/protocols/irc/ are licensed under GPL v.2 including
ksparser.cpp.  Seems incongruous that the implementation file is licensed
differently than the header file, ksparser.h.

[kde] [Bug 356326] New: Code in kdenetwork is licensed under the non-free ARTISTIC license.

[Dennis Worthem via KDE Bugzilla]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356326

Bug ID: 356326
   Summary: Code in kdenetwork is licensed under the non-free
ARTISTIC license.
   Product: kde
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: dwort...@mykolab.com

I am a volunteer working on gNewSense, a free ( as defined by the Free Software
Foundation (FSF)) GNU/Linux distro where the next version (4) will be based on
Debian Wheezy.

 We noticed that KDE has dependencies on the Artistic License 1.0 which the FSF
does not regard as free or is at least ambiguous
(https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeSoftwareLicenses) and
they encourage use of the Artistic License 2.0
(https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses).

Specifically we noticed in /kdenetwork-4.8.4/kopete/protocols/irc/ksparser.h
(the kdenetwork package for Debian Wheezy)

Can the license be changed to  "Artistic 2.0 License" instead of "Artistic
License"?
