[Snip a bunch of crap I don't care about] The community as a whole benefited from PyQt because it was free, not because it was GPL. The community as whole suffered because it was GPL instead of a more permissive license. Now that we have PySide the community as a whole will benefit much, much more than it could with only a GPLed PyQt. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
