LGPL for Breeze QStyle and qtquickcontrols?

Hi,
Is relicensing Breeze QStyle to LGPL from GPL for possible and acceptable?
I've found cases when bits of the code beyond QStyle/KStyle API need
to be reused. One example is: custom widgets.
If we're considering Breeze QStyle as implementation of certain
artwork, and KDE artwork in general would be LGPL also for
consistency.
For example wallpapers, icons are LGPL.

Similarly I can only deduce that breeze/qtquickcontrols/* is GPL now,
it's not clear in breeze.git. The same question here: can it be LGPL
or BSD?

Bottom line is: if we want to popularise our frameworks in the outside world...
