I've been made aware that apparently kiten bundles some non-free content
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969411 ), and it's taken me
awhile to followup. sorry.
Anyway, per
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeedu/kiten/repository/revisions/master/changes/data/edrdg_license.html
"Note that the SKIP codes are under their own similar Creative Common
licence. See Jack Halpern's conditions of use(1) page. Note that commercial
applications using the SKIP codes must have prior permission from Jack
Halpern."
which is essentially CC-BY-NC-SA, but as far as I can tell, is not in
compliance with kde licensing policies.
It would appear debian patches this out (2), but not sure of the reasoning
(whether it's for licensing and/or to support external kanjidic)
Not sure of how best to proceed here, suggestions? file a bug? contact the
module maintainer(s)?
