Hi Luca, 

I had a quick look at the code in this directory and I can understand that 
this is causing an issue for licensing. 

It seems that some code was copied from QupZilla for this, but in the source 
file we have now the original QupZilla license (which is GPL-3.0) and they also 
have a new license from Laurent that labels them as GPL-2.0.   An example is 
adblockregexp.cpp.  

We need to have this sorted out pretty fast before 16.04 is being released, 
otherwise a lot of distributions would have an issue with this !!
