[SailfishDevel] QtLocation | Qt 5.6

[Tone Kastlunger]

Ah! Slava, the article you pointed at is wrong;

Quoting :

"The same incompatibility issue exists with LGPLv2.1 projects that want to
use an LGPLv3 library. They *must* be upgraded to LGPLv3. "
This statement is not true for LGPLv3, but for GPLv3 (according to FSF's
compatibility matrix at least); I guess someone needs to do his home work :)
