[Development] Licensing update

[Lucie Gérard]

Hi All,
here is a quick update regarding licensing.

Most Qt modules are now reuse-compliant and the reuse tool is used to generate source SBOM.
If your module is not yet reuse-compliant, please contact me.

Source SBOMs can now be tested against the module's license rule set defined in licenseRule.json (which includes QUIP 18 rules and exceptions). As a first step, files under the 3rdparty directories are excluded from the check. The source SBOM check is being automated on the CI.
All changes linked to this new check can be tracked here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-131434

An updated version of QUIP18 can be found here:https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/621768

There is now a Wiki page about licensing:https://wiki.qt.io/Licensing_in_Qt%27s_modules

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me.
Best,
Lucie
