Hi all, So after a little bit of digging I saw that Qt itself allows for some other open source licenses (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/license-gpl-exceptions.html) including MIT License, which is my favourite no nonsense license. I'm maintaining a couple of open source python scripts under the MIT license and was toying with the idea of adding a user friendly GUI to them, Qt and PyQT are looking pretty good since Tkinter is ugly and almost all the other toolkits just fails abysmally under Win64 environments. Now I ran into a little bit of a snag, I can not find a similar exception list to the GPL license for PyQT as for Qt itself. The only thing I did find was http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#license ... except the wording "If you use the GPL versions then your own code must also use a compatible license." could be interpreted either way, compatible with GPL, or compatible with the license for Qt itself, which *does* allow for MIT license. Oh how I hate licenses...
Could anyone clarify what that last sentence refers to? I want to interpret it as it's free for the MIT license, but of course I'm slightly biased.
