    Description

      3rd party license namings under https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/licenses-used-in-qt.html (and subsequently under https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/licenses-used-in-qt.html) are inconsistent and non-uniform. E.g. LGPL 2.1 is now "LGPL v2 and LGPL v2.1" but also "GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1".

      Should not be both, the readability is sub-optimal. Pick one convention and stick to that accross the documentationfor all specific 3rd party licenses.
