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
I'm getting You are not authorized to access bug #754072 which isn't the best sign. :)
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?
a) The defect report must get public as you'll reference it in your KDE 3 package change log. b) Then you pass it to the KDE maintainers to get them to update their packages license RPM tag and package license lines if needed too.
