I will take you meant "QT_MODULE_TO_TEST=qtdeclarative
qtqa/tests/prebuild/license/tst_licenses.pl"

Yeah, I used this script earlier, but I did not know it is already
integrated into the CI. Couldn't this be integrated into a bot rather than
CI? It would be nice to know even before pressing the staging button. It
does not seem to run long either.

Yes, and that is likely the problem for several modules aforementioned
unless they copy those into the qt5. However, that is not a clean solution
either. Perhaps, qtqa should have the license headers stored on its own,
and once there is a need to change it, it is changed there. Then, qtbase
and others should be sync'd to that.
