Observations while trying to add this to the KF5 Yocto recipes:
- it shows up as Tier 1 on https://api.kde.org/frameworks/index.html but seems 
to have a hard dependency on Kirigami
- it seems to be licensed LGPLv3 + GPLv2, which doesn't match what https://
community.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy says about KF5 code (see item 4).
