If a license is what's legally required for a person to perform a certain task and the person holds that license then the person is said to be qualified. They may not be very good at said task but they do have all of the required qualifications.
IMO that is not true.
The license proves only that your legally allowed to do the work.
As an example, OSHA and the NEC require persons to be qualified to do certain tasks. In order to be qualified for those tasks you need specific training and having a license or not has nothing to do with it.
Non-licensed can be qualified, licensed can be unqualified.
I have electrical licenses in three states, I am very qualified to wire a retail store, I am far from qualified to wire a 15 KV switchgear even though my licenses allow me to do either.
