+Comment:
+ KDE software follows the KDE licensing policy that can be found:
+ https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy
+ Some files might refer to license names that are explained it these the
+ mentioned policy.
+ .
+ Unless otherwise noted the default license used in this application is
+ LGPL-2.1+ for the source code and GFDL-NIV-1.2+ for the documentation.
+ Some of the optional plugins used at runtime are under a version of
+ the GPL license.
+ .
+ In particular, this licensing allows this project to link against libgit2
+ (which may, in turn, link against the openssl, which has incompatibilities
+ with the GPL),  as the code that links against this is the kateprojectplugin,
+ that is under a  version of the LGPL, so the incompatibilities don't apply.
+ .
+ On the other hand, in order to link against the ktexteditor framework
+ (which may, in turn, link against libgit2), either the libgit2 needs to be
+ linked against gnutls or ktexteditor needs to not be linked against libgit2.
