      QtWebEngine in Qt 5.6: license doubt:
      Does anybody know what is exactly the open source license for the Qt WebEngine module in Qt 5.6? My doubt is whether it is LGPLv3 or LGPLv2.1. The information I read in the official Qt page is not clear. Thanks.

        @HelenG Is this the documentation page you meant: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.6/qtwebengine-licensing.html

        It states: "The arguably most restrictive license to be respected by all users is LGPLv2.1."

          @leenamiettinen thanks for responding. Yes, I was referring to that page. But the point is that statement is included a part of the second paragraph that refers to Chromium and third party licenses. So, it seems to me that "LGPLv2.1" in that sentence is applicable only to the Chromium and related third parties modules (but not to the rest of Qt modules also included in QtWebEngine).
