<div dir="ltr">Kristof,<div><br></div><div>I'm curious, when you say you won't make it open-source, which method of deployment & distribution you guys are picking up? Asking as your choices in this regard are very limited in python land. If you decided to use any of the existing freezers {bbFreeze, py2exe, pyInstaller, cx_Freeze, py2app} your code would be very easy to unpack. The only choice I know that could bring you enough "protection" are either nuitka(mature enough) or beeware(not ready to use on production).</div><div><br></div><div>Also, there is pyqtdeploy although I don't know which packing method uses behind the curtains... so not sure how easy would be to break/unpack.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 20, 2019 at 11:04 AM <<a href="mailto:kristof.mulier@telenet.be">kristof.mulier@telenet.be</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear PyQt developers,<br>
<br>
We're a team of 3 people (Johan Cockx, Matic Kukovec and Kristof Mulier) working on a startup: a new IDE for microcontrollers. We're using PyQt for the graphical user interface and QScintilla for the editor. Our software will be distributed for free (although we won't make it open-source).<br>
<br>
We have to buy a PyQt license before launching the software. However, could you consider giving us a discount? Please keep in mind:<br>
<br>
1. We're a startup and are currently paying everything from our own savings.<br>
<br>
2. We've built the website <a href="https://qscintilla.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://qscintilla.com</a> which contains very detailed documentation on how to use QScintilla, and we're paying monthly for keeping this website online on a server. It's our way to give something back to the community.<br>
<br>
Kind greetings,<br>
<br>
Kristof Mulier<br>
