Looking at the News section of the project's home page, I can see
that updates were few and far between in 2004 and 2005, but the
action seems to have picked up again since:

"Unfree" as in the opposite of freedom, or "unfree" as in the price of
beer?

PyQt for Qt 3 is available under the GNU General Public License on
Mac OS X and Linux. Since Qt 4 can be used under the GPL on all
platforms, you'll even be able to write software on Windows with PyQt4
that's licensed under a GPL-compatible license.

But actively supported and promoted:

And I'm sure there are plenty of other solutions that deserve to be
mentioned:
