[Bug]: QT_EDITION might need to be modified to overcome QMake projects license check failure

[IMAN4K]

Bug description

license check error when dealing with QMake projects:

License check failed! Giving up...

Expected behavior

These lines:

QT_EDITION = Enterprise
QT_LICHECK = licheck.exe

Must be changed to:

QT_EDITION = OpenSource

Inside <architecture>/mkspecs/qconfig.pri for QMake projects to work correctly.

aqt and python version

v3.1.13 on Python 3.12.3 [CPython MSC v.1938 64 bit (AMD64)]

Operating System

From which Qt Version?
It works well until Qt 6.5.3 which is tested on CI environment.

@miurahr
I'm testing under 5.15.x which is supported

when running

python -m aqt install-qt windows desktop 5.15.2 win64_msvc2019_64 --archives qtbase
INFO    : aqtinstall(aqt) v3.1.17.dev2 on Python 3.10.12 [CPython GCC 11.4.0]

it looks no problem.

Please share exact procedure to reproduce the issue.

[miurahr]

Patching qconfig.pri has been implemented in #210 in 2021.

[IMAN4K]

Your qconfig.pri is different from mine, it needs to be investigated
