Hello,
in some KDE applications (for example yakuake) there is a quite uncommon GPL
header in the source files, which reads like this:

ved by the membership of KDE e.V.), which shall act as a proxy
defined in Section 14 of version 3 of the license.

In the review for knights (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674180
) the question how to handle this came up. What would be the appropriate
License tag in the spec file?
Would be nice if legal could shed some light on this :)
Regards,
Julian
