Remove 'Open Source Licensing of Qt' page
The page is outdated: * It states that all of Qt is LGPLv3, while we have now GPLv3 modules * Reference to "Qt Open Source Edition", a term we're not using anymore Furthermore, it seems no other page is referencing it. There is also quite some overlap with 'Qt Licensing' page, so I think it's easiest to just remove it.

- \ingroup licensing
- \brief Information about open source licensing of Qt.
-
- Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that comes with a license
- that gives users certain rights. In particular the right to use the
- software, to modify it, to obtain its source, and to pass it on (under
- the same terms). Notice that the term "free" is about rights, not
- money. The Free Software Foundation, the creator of the GNU GPL, speaks
- of free in this context as in "free speech", not as in "no cost".
-
- The Qt Company supports the free software concept by providing the Qt Open Source
- Edition, which is licensed under the \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)}
- version 3. You can use this edition of Qt to create and distribute software with licenses
- that are compatible with this free software license.
-
- Additionally, the \l{Qt Examples and Tutorials}{examples} included with Qt are provided
- under the terms of the \l{BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License}. See also
- \l{License of Qt examples}.
-
- The support of open source with the Open Source Versions of Qt has enabled large
- successful software projects like KDE to thrive, with thousands of developers
- around the world using open source versions of Qt at no cost to themselves.
-
- The Open Source Edition can be downloaded from the \l{Downloads} page.
-
- More information on Free and Open Source software is available online.
