I am looking for a clarification on the licensing of the Protobuf-Module.

The code in https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtgrpc.git/tree/src/protobuf has 
// SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-Qt-Commercial OR LGPL-3.0-only OR 
GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only

While the code in 
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtgrpc.git/tree/src/protobufqttypes/protobufqtcoretypes 
has // SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-Qt-Commercial OR GPL-3.0-only 
WITH Qt-GPL-exception-1.0

Is this intentional?

Can I - wearing a LGPL3-hat - use the protobuf module?

Thank you,
Frank
