I'm not sure I want to clone the repos directly, how will reviews happen?
Should there be a merge request? Is anyone interested in reviewing the whole
stuff and how?
Then most files I peaked into were lacking the license header and in the root
directory I only found a LGPL license (I may be wrong, I didn't spend very
long looking), so that's also not compatible with Qt license policy.
So the question stands, how should the import/review happen?
Cheers,
Frederik
