    Description

      In Qt Online installer directory Qt/Licenses we get:

      ThirdPartySoftware_Listing.txt
      LICENSE
      LICENSE.FDL
      

      But non of these license files mentions, for example, ICU license, while libicu* are shipped and we have to bundle them with our application too.

      One can find ICU licenses "buried" in docs within Qt/Docs/Qt-5.13.2/qtwebengine/qtwebengine-3rdparty-icu.html, but that's unusable for distribution.

      It would be convenient if Licenses directory contained plaintext files for all third party licenses, available to copy during CMake/QMake run, for example, to the output directory, ready to build installer, etc.

      While currently Qt user have to manually sync relevant license files from upstream.
