<div dir="ltr">Thanks for sharing, Florian.<div><br></div><div>@Phil, what are your thoughts on this? Will it have any effect on the growth and development of PyQt? From a 10.000 feet view, you alone could potentially squash this effort in a matter of weeks by widening the license scheme and potentially gain 100% market share, and possibly gain added traction via open source contributions from the very same volunteers currently rounding up for PySide.</div><div><br></div><div>Came across this interesting read recently, about the direction in which software is heading how it can be difficult to "compete with free", which made me think of this situation.</div><div><br></div><div>- <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033325.do">http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033325.do</a></div><div><br></div><div>PyQt is a great product of great quality.

</span>I'm eager to try it out for my project[1] once it's in an usable state<br>
- and once it has some widespread adoption in distros I'll probably<br>
officially support it.<br>

write a compatibility shim to make it work with both (provided there<br>
