Recently a bug report has been filled by the legal team regarding two sound files in KDE3' kdeartwork package: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754072
My further investigation showed that the same files included not only in KDE3 but also in KDE4, where all the sub packages of kdeartwork were tagged with the following "license":
No license agreement found in package ; GPLv2+, LGPLv2+, LGPLv3, BSD3 aggregation
Thus I wonder why the bugreport was filled only against KDE3, and not against KDE4 where not only these files, but all subpackages of kdeartwork are affected.
Anyway I e-mailed to the files author and he said that nobody asked him for a license when he contributed this to KDE svn, but he can release the files under CC-BY-SA.
It this sufficient to mark the package as licensed under these terms?
You should discuss this in bugzilla with the legal team, only they can answer this.
