confusion about licenses:

WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.                       

src/mixkit:

LGPL

but src/ itself and debian/copyright state GPL (which would not be able
to link to the non-free code).

The COPYING_QSlimLib.txt and LICENSE files are contradictory

Please clarify this situation in debian/copyright and re-upload.
