Matti, can you elaborate why is PyQt's commercial license considered impractical on Maemo ? As I understand it just allows proprietary applications to use PyQt, it's not any more impractical that it is for GPL software. There is no requirement to use 'special binaries' or sorts. | Matti, can you elaborate why is PyQt's commercial license considered impractical on Maemo ?

I believe you would, at least according to this page, have to provide separate versions of PyQt modules for commercial use, which would be quite a hurdle on Maemo.
