The breeze widget style?
I'm OK with my own contributions being re-licensed to LGPL.
@hpereiradacosta?

I'm okay with mine being re-licensed this way as well.

The question was already raised in the past. At the time there strong objections against this, some of them raised by Martin (now added as subscriber) and to which I agreed, but which I can't remember today. @graesslin any recollection ?

So to be clear, this would allow Breeze to be put in the qtbase repo with the Fusion, MacOS and Windows widget styles? What is the advantage to doing that?

...Other than making it harder to contribute to Breeze and longer before changes get into users' hands, that is... :p

Seems like we'd also have to remove any KF5 dependencies, which seems counterproductive.

This issue seems to be the cause of the suggestion https://github.com/FedoraQt/adwaita-qt/issues/105 but the issue is closed so I'll close this
