rawdog that we depend on is GPL licensed. So what appropriate license should this have?
GPL or LGPL?
I'm not very aware of how this works

Ask this on http://opensource.stackexchange.com/ maybe?

Does this copy code from rawdog?

Simply depending on a GPL library doesn't mean we have to be GPL, especially since we aren't "linking" and it isn't AGPL. But if we take files from rawdog and edit them to form Planet SymPy, then those files have to be GPL licensed.

You must also give credits to Planet KDE. The UI was built from scratch by KDE people.

Yes, I will. I'm yet to update the README from my side.

What is the license on Planet KDE?

The repo has both a GPL and LGPL license. Which overrides the other?

@asmeurer

Assumedly that means it's dual licensed, meaning you can pick either one. Regardless, for LGPL or GPL, if we copied it and modified it, then we also have to be LGPL/GPL.
