Qt WebEngine Licensing

The Qt specific parts of the Qt WebEngine module are dual-licensed under Commercial and GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPLv3). In addition, the module contains code licensed under LGPLv2.

The module includes a snapshot of Chromium. As such, users need to respect the licenses of Chromium, and third-party code included in Chromium. The arguably most restrictive license to be respected by all users is LGPLv2.1.

Note: Any GPL licenses listed below are only used to access Linux system resources. Qt WebEngine does not link to nor distribute GPL binary code, and it does not affect users of Qt WebEngine.
