I'd be open to all kinds of formats if we'd start on a green field. But we're not, and I don't think reimplementing qtattributionsscanner + redo the build system integration + convert all existing qt_attributionsscanner.json files to a new format is worth the time. Unless, of course, somebody volunteers 😉 Regards Kai -- Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
