Now all licenses are listed. Thanks.

Now you have

Files: qcustomplot.cpp qcustomplot.h
Copyright:
  2011-2022 Emanuel Eichhammer
License: GPL-3+

in d/copyright.

As described in 5.c of the GPL v3
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html.en
it isn't allowed to license under a different license.

I found in the READMe.md:
***
Now this code does not depend on anything other than what is in the 
source tree or available from the Qt installer.
Uses QCustomPlot available at:
http://www.qcustomplot.com/
However, this source code is integrated into the source for SavvyCAN and 
one isn't required to download it separately.
***

So it seems to be possible to exclude these files from the package and 
package it separately as a dependency.
