Apologies for not making it more clear. Unlike the other licenses there is no problem with you linking a pure GPL QScintilla with your LGPL code. It's up to you whether you want to accept the additional committments that that implies. Qt is moving to either GPL & commercial or LGPL & commercial depending on the nature of the product and I want to have things similarly simple. There is an argument (especially given the previous exceptions) that QScintilla should be aligned with Qt (and therefore be LGPL) rather than, say, QtCharts. I will give that serious consideration.
