[PyQt] Question about "total number of developers" in License FAQ

Hi all,

>From the License FAQ [1]:

"Q. Are commercial licenses tied to named developers?
A. No, a commercial license covers a number of developers. We only
require that the total number of developers at any time does not
exceed the number covered by your license."

My question is: What is the intended interpretation of "total number
of developers at any time"? Does it refer to the maximum number of
developers that makes use of the license within a given week? A day?
At the exact same time? Or does it refer to the number of
simultaneously employed (or otherwise involved) developers that have
at any time made use of the license?

In short I'd like to know, if we have a single license, when we'd be
obliged to get a second license. Is it okay if me and a coworker,
simultaneously employed, "takes turn" in using the license, or would
this require us to get a second license? How frequently can we take
turn before it is considered an abuse of the licensing terms?

There are variations of these interpretations I have not brought up,
because they are so many, so I'm really looking for just a
clarification on what it means.

Also, where is the license text of the commercial license? I can't
find it on the web site.

Best regards,
Elvis
