According to http://www.qt.io/faq/#faqupcoming: """ Qt will be licensed under a commercial license, GPLv2, GPLv3 and LGPLv3, but no longer under LGPLv2.1 """ But maybe this is only starting with Qt 5.7. > ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_LICENSE_APPROVED),y) > -QT53D_LICENSE = GPLv2+ or LGPLv3 > -QT53D_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE.GPL LICENSE.LGPLv3 > +QT53D_LICENSE = GPLv2+ or GPLv3 or LGPLv3, docs: GFDLv1.3 This is not the proper format to specify which part is covered by which license. You should use: GPLv2+ or GPLv3 or LGPLv3, GFDLv1.3 (docs) This should be fixed globally, of course. It's a bit weird though to mention GPLv3 *and* GPLv2+. Are sure it was GPLv2+ ? > +QT53D_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE.GPL LICENSE.GPLv3 LICENSE.LGPLv3 LICENSE.FDL There is no LICENSE.FDL file in this package, so make legal-info fails. Please enable all Qt5 packages, and make sure that "make legal-info" works properly. Thanks!
