I'm not a lawyer but apparently something is fundamentally wrong with
LGPLv3. This sounds similar to what I heard about it:

Morning,
Slava, would you mind to check out which licensing terms
prevent QtLocation specifically? Or maybe someone else knows
specifics? Is there any hope that the situation would change

I wonder whether all platforms are hit by it or whether Ubuntu
Touch complies with the new terms and, as a result, has an
advantage when compared to SFOS in this case.
Best wishes,
Rinigus
