You need to explicitly white list qt4-embedded in the
LGPLv2_WHITELIST_GPLv3, currently the parsing for exclusion just looks
at the incompatible license.
Also, looking at the current LICENSE in qt, it will need to be further
defined on a package level as to how each package is licensed, so that
when the manifest and audit occurs only the LGPLv2.1 bits are included.
We are open to patches such as this.
BTW, we have not tested building a graphical non-GPLv3 image, so you are
treading on new ground, please let me know how it goes and we might
include a qt image that is non-GPLv3.
Sau!
