Remove 'Open Source Licensing of Qt' page
This page is not up to date - not all Qt modules are available under LGPL v3. Anyhow, the page does also duplicate much information from 'Qt Licensing', and is not linked to from anywhere. So it's probably best 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.
