Add license files mandated by (L)GPL.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently only qtbase includes the required LICENSE files, which
are referred to from the code headers. The same files should
be distributed as part of all the modules as well, so that the
(L)GPL licenses are adhered.

These files were wget:d from:

https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/raw/stable/LGPL_EXCEPTION.txt
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/raw/stable/LICENSE.LGPL
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/raw/stable/LICENSE.GPL

As an addition to above, added also LICENSE.FDL. All the modules additionally require it, since they include
at least *.qdoc files and in some case a couple of others.

File received via
wget http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/raw/stable/LICENSE.FDL

Digia Qt LGPL Exception version 1.1

As an additional permission to the GNU Lesser General Public License version
2.1, the object code form of a "work that uses the Library" may incorporate
material from a header file that is part of the Library. You may distribute
such object code under terms of your choice, provided that:
(i) the header files of the Library have not been modified; and
(ii) the incorporated material is limited to numerical parameters, data
structure layouts, accessors, macros, inline functions and
templates; and
(iii) you comply with the terms of Section 6 of the GNU Lesser General
Public License version 2.1.

Moreover, you may apply this exception to a modified version of the Library,
provided that such modification does not involve copying material from the
Library into the modified Library's header files unless such material is
limited to (i) numerical parameters; (ii) data structure layouts;
(iii) accessors; and (iv) small macros, templates and inline functions of
five lines or less in length.

Furthermore, you are not required to apply this additional permission to a
modified version of the Library.
