Description
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows.html identifies some compilers as "MinGW" and these lead to a website https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php for the "Mingw-w64" project which was forked from the original MinGW project in 2007. However, to those in the know, identifying the toolchain as "MinGW" is misleading as the original project is known to only support 32-Bit Windows (though applications built using its tools can run inside the WOW64 sub-system on 64-Bit Windows).
Also, the original "MinGW" project, who website is at http://mingw.org/ claim:
"MinGW is a registered trademark of Software in the Public Interest Inc., registration number 86017856; it has been registered on behalf of MinGW.org, and its use by any other project is unauthorized."
Might I suggest the displayed text is revise from "MinGW" to "Mingw-w64"?
