I have to agree with Jonathan here, especially in 6 months, when I know a lot 
of their focus is on KDE 4 currently.

Also, I noticed a comment about making it easier from a multiple license 
standpoint, didn't the Documentation Project recently switch to a single 
license, CC-by-SA 2.5?

I will review the Mallard Project, and look into the amount of work required 
to make this possible, if this is the route that Kubuntu/KDE decides to go. 
If KDE doesn't go that route, then Kubuntu will have to look at going that 
route. Who knows right now, but I will do some reading, and mroe reading to 
see the feasibility of this topic.

Thanks everyone!
