So, unless I missed something, QScintilla is now released under GPL v3.0 and that is it, while up to version 2.8.4, it was released under GPL v2.0/v3.0 + some exceptions that made it fine, for me at least, to use it under the Apache v2.0 license.

The exceptions are gone. I don't know how compatible with the GPL the Apache license is.
