Qt is available now under LGPL. PyQt is still GPL / Commercial AFAICT.

Yes, but be careful with the playing around - "Both the Qt and PyQt
Commercial Licenses prevent you from developing code using the GPL
versions and subsequently selling that code under the commercial
license. You must purchase a commercial license at the start of your
development. "
