The license is not changed, plans just to not ship QtMultimedia with Qt essentials, can be installed separately. Possibly we also support only a limited set of platforms. Qt Essentials must work on every platform, according to the definition of essentials.
While of course it's up to each module maintainer to decide on its status (and thus, if QtMM doesn't qualify for "Essentials" any more, can become an "Addon"), I'm left wondering why does this imply being moved to the Marketplace, out of Qt itself?
* Is this part of a broader plan, aiming at streamlining the Qt offer to just mean Essentials, while the Addons get moved to the marketplace?
("Qt offer" is of course inaccurate, given the many offers available, but you get my drift...).
* If so, are all the practical issues for such addons sorted out? First few things that come to mind:
1) Version numbering scheme, release schedule 2) CI testing / platform coverage3) Compatibility promise (own API/ABI stability, which Qt versions it works with, etc.)
4) Where to put the docs, release notes, etc.* What about the KDE/Qt agreement? Are the list of Essential and Addon modules being re-evaluated there as well? QtMM is not really at liberty of changing license because it's an "Essential" (in the agreement).
