What's the motivation for this structure? I mean, the files in ui/ also don't have to be GPL licensed. I'd leave out this structure bit TBH.

How about mentioning the case that it can also be used under the royalty free license?
Eg (need rewording)
It uses the Slint toolkit which is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3) or it's own rotyalty free license.
By linking with Slint, the resulting binary is subject to either GPLv3 or the Slint royalty free license.
