Agreed: the common interpretation is that one cannot distribute an
executable linked against both a GNU GPL'ed library and an OCCTPL
library.
What I meant is that the situation may be different here: PyQt is
Python code, there are no direct bindings between the two libraries,
and thus the program may be considered as an aggregation instead of a
derivative work.  Please note that I have no idea whether that does
make any sense, I am only speculationg on how OCC can justify to use
PyQt in Salome ;-)
