The sources are from Qt 4.2 IIRC, so the code for uic should normally be
GPL. To be honest, I don't know why those files have a Qt Preview
license header. Guess I just skipped over the header back then.
If it is legally possible to just change the license to (L)GPL, I'm all
for that, but I'm no lawyer. Is this legally okay?
