Actually, here's something really amusing:  KDE has licensed its
software to FSF.  Technically, it's not KDE that could sue for
breach of license, it's RMS and his lawyer.  [Or whoever is 
dealing with such things at the FSF.]

This, I think shows how much of a clue the KDE folks have about
legal issues.

That said, I'll remind people of something else: we try to maintain 
good author relations.  If the author doesn't want us to distribute
software we generally don't, even if we're legally allowed to.
