Description
The repository contains two license files:
- GNU Free Documentation License
- GPL with two exceptions
The python file in the `coin` directory has the standard header from the Qt-Library and the Qt-Examples with:
- Commercial License
- GPL with no exceptions[?]
The KDE-Tools refer to a LGPL license.
The `README` does not refer to any license.
As to my knowledge of the GPL for a project, every GPL application may be used to generate projects of any license (see the gcc license).
If you statically link a project with the LGPL license you are getting a GPL project by default.
So I assume the QTIFW needs to be a GPL licensed project, though your installers created with the QTIFW should be able to choose any license to the designers liking even commercial / closed source licenses.
This is especially true for the Qt project that uses the QTIFW.
It would be helpful to state this fact in the README and the documentation of the QTIFW.
