Silica components license and source code

One practical example - I would like to implement chart with route elevation profile in OSM Scout. There is nice Charts Qt module that would allow that. It should be possible to build it for Sailfish, because it requires just Qt 5.4. But I cannot use that module together with Silica components, because Qt Charts is licensed under GPLv3.

This really sounds like a typical case for which the *GPL*'s System Library Exception was made for.
Its scope is quite broad!

Thus it is explicitly allowed to let a GPL’ed software (like OSM Scout) depend on both proprietary system libraries and *GPL*ed libraries.
