Yes, KFD is LGPL.
Even if KFD development has been very slow for about two years (mainly because I
was very busy with schoolwork and also because it fits what we need for Kexi, so
there's no urgent need to add new features). But it could start again if other
apps start to use it. I just need to know that I'm not working for nothing.
