Does anyone here know anything about whether PyQT is planning on also switching to LGPL? On their license page, they say:
"Like Qt itself, PyQt is provided under a number of licenses depending on how it is going to be used. In fact, we try and follow Trolltech's licensing model as closely as we can."
So I'm assuming that they're planning on switching. Is anyone here on their mailing lists and/or have any other inside information of that sort about whether they're planning on switching?
I would assume they aren't - QT is owned by Nokia so they can afford to give QT away for free just for market share. Riverbank computing (makers of PyQT) is a one man band with bills to pay (it is availabel under the GPL).
But if they don't then someone is going to start a community project to produce the swig wrappers themselves.
Having said that - perhaps Nokia might buy Riverbank to keep pyqt going, or Riverbank might feel they can support themselves on consulting/support contracts with a larger installed base of an LGPL pyqt?
