Nokia Makes LGPL Version of PyQt

EtaCarinae writes "Nokia didn't succeed in convincing Riverbank to change its licensing terms on PyQt, and so decided to create their own LGPL'ed version of it. From the FAQ at the PySide site: 'Nokia's initial research into Python bindings for Qt involved speaking with Riverbank Computing, the makers of PyQt. We had several discussions with them to see if it was possible to use PyQt to achieve our goals. Unfortunately, a common agreement could not be found , so in the end we decided to proceed with PySide.'"

Kudos to Nokia

If you cannot get the source to open-source, open-source the source.

Kudos to Nokia.

working towards using QT as a (the) UI-toolkit

If they're going to be using Apple QuickTime as the user interface toolkit, I predict it's going to be a fucking disaster.

Perhaps they should consider using Qt instead.

You'll pay for my software exactly the amount that I'm asking you for it. If not, buzz off and go download somebody else's stuff.
