PyQT indeed is licensed poorly for anything that's not GPL.  But Qt
itself is dual-licensed under GPL and the LGPL, as of version 4.6 I
think.  The LGPL license would seem to be quite acceptable even for
commercial, closed-source programs.  Is this not so?  The license is at
parity with GTK+.

Eventually PySide will be stable and fast, and so the licensing issues
involving PyQt won't matter.
