Bug#500905: [qt4-x11] Misleading license information



Package: qt4-x11
Version: 4.4.3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

In the latest copyright informations (/usr/share/doc/libqt4-core/copyright, it 
is said that:
Since Qt 4.3.4, Qt is triple licensed under the QPL, GPL 2 and GPL 3.

But, if we look at the copyright informations from the Qt packages, it doesn't 
have any mention of QPL as a valid open-source license. If it has changed, 
then there are no history of this in the copyright file, the latest change is:
Since Qt 4.4.3, copyright of Qt has been transferred to Nokia Corporation.

And the header of the copyright file says that the Qt4 open-source edition is 
licensed using GPLv2 or GPLv3, which seems correct.
