I wish you good luck opening every single of the 167383 files in QtWebEngine 
(checked with 5.15.8, but that is the order of magnitude for all versions) 
to check the license header, if there is any to begin with. (Some of the 
bundled libraries are of the "let's just drop in one license file that 
applies to everything" kind, and it is named differently in each.)
