The module has two parts with different licensing:

The Wayland *client* library API and the wayland QPA plugin, which are 
licensed
 LicenseRef-Qt-Commercial OR LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only
which is the same as qtbase, see
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/corelib/global/qglobal.h

And the Wayland compositor (server) library API, which is licensed
 LicenseRef-Qt-Commercial OR GPL-3.0-only

If you just want your application to run in a Wayland session, you need the 
client library and plugin only.
