hi all

i’ve made a tool in maya using PyQt4 and i want to sell it.
i need to distribute some files of PyQt4 with my setup.

I have gpl version of PyQt4 (thanks robert and nathan for helping me to find out correct version of PyQt4)

is it possible to sell maya tool made in PyQt4-GPL version ?

or do i need to buy commercial verison of PyQt4
(I m using PyQt4 just for maya)

any help appreciated

You would need a commercial license as far as I know!

hi all

i got the solution,

if i want to sell tool made in Pyqt4, i must purchase commercial version of
PyQt4, because it doesnt come with LGPL

  • and Maya doesnt come with LGPL of PyQt4 (what i was assuming)

i was confused in between nokia’s Qt and riverBank’s PyQt4

Qt comes with LGPL, not PyQt4 (binding for Qt)

i have three options

  1. purchase commercial version of PyQt4
  2. wait for PySide to create bindings for 64 bit python 2.6
  3. start developing tool using c++ api of maya

any advice appreciated
