The version of Python is irrelevant.

If not, is there a list of current licenses that are compatible? I develop under both Windows and OS X. (Under OS X PyQt4 is installed via MacPorts). Thanks.

The file was originally taken from Qt and was removed from it some time ago. It's removal from PyQt was just to bring it in line. I know nothing about the Academic Free License - if it is GPL compatible then you can use it.
