Are the libraries still available under LGPLv2.1 ? 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.

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+ ?

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!
