Many files in this project are GPL 2 or 3 only. There is no "or later" or "later as approved by KDE e.V.".

This goes against the KDE licence policy and means it can not be included in KDE.

It also means that when GPL 4 comes along it won't be able to fix with GPL 4 licenced code.

The specific files with the licensing problem are: src/cursortheme/{{x,}cursortheme,sortproxymodel,thememodel}.{h,cpp} ; Even src/cursortheme/thememodel.cpp is restricted to GPL 2.
