Hi José
indeed, if Upstream could simply paste the license in the file, that would be
clearer.
I usually inspect the source code with ‘grep -ri’ and keywords like ‘copyright’
or ‘license’. Once I figure out what are the lead copyright holders, I remove
them from the output with ‘grep -v’, to see if there are extra files with are
obviouly coming from an external source. I then inspect their content.
Also, between two updates, I do a debdiff that I grep for ‘copyright’. It
already helped me to uncover the addition of non-free files.

Good. I hope that you will find a sponsor within the team members. In the worst
case I can sponsor you as well, but it would be better if it is somebody that
has some knowledge of KDE.
Have a nice day,
