In Qt Non Commercial License v1.0, I found

 4. You are as an individual granted a personal, non-exclusive 
 non-transferable license, in a non-commercial setting, to develop 
 application programs, reusable components and other software items that 
 link with or in any other way require the Software. These items, when 
 distributed, are subject to the following requirements: 

Suppose, I write a Python script (say hello.py) with PyQt for Windows, 
under Non-Commercial license.  This licese applies to the distribution 
of hello.py, because hello.py does "import qt", i.e. requires the 
Software in a way.  If hello.py is portable so that you can run it on 
Windows, Linux and whatever with PyQt, which license applies to hello.py?

Or those licese cover only a complete form of a software, not a script 
as protion of software?  (hello.py does not run alone, while PyQt and 
hello.py make a single application)
