    Description

      The license type filters on https://www.qt.io/product/features are incorrect or confusing.

      For example, all the tools are shown under LGPL and other less restrictive opensource types (this can be interpreted as the tools' source code being available under these licenses, even though they are GPL)

      "Any opensource license" excludes the components under Framework Essentials (although they are available under GPL)

      Shiboken Wizard is shown as available under all license types.

       

      Also, each component's documentation should clearly state their license on the top page to remove any doubt. For example, add on module pages like Qt Multimedia have a "Licenses and attributions" section at the top page, but Shiboken does not. Some like Qt Quick Compiler don't even have a landing page and use a blog post instead.
