I heard that particular module was licensed differently. Is that correct?


Yep, Qt Quick 3D is available under Qt commercial and GPLv3 license [1]. "New" Qt modules, like for example Qt 3D, are used to be licensed under LGPL and not GPL for the open-source part [2].

But recently they started to change some modules licensing from LGPLv3/Commercial to GPLv3/Commercial [3].
