Hi Narendra,
I hate to step in here, and debated whether to do it
at all or not, as I certainly do not like to dictate to
people that they should do this, or that. However, if
you will permit me certain observations:
I respect what you are trying to do, probably also
from a perspective that people on *this* group might
not have. However, that by no means excuses various
things:
* Difficulty in expressing yourself asides, you seem to
have an issue in understanding how licences work.
That is OK, but a refusal to accept well-meaning
follow-ups is a problem: Noufal's being a case in
point.
* I also have serious issues with "If you Google
search on my name probably you will be 25000+
hits..." So, what? There are people on this list who
probably have ten times as many hits. Or, even if
not, an argument constructed by appeal to authority
is no argument at all in a tech. world.
* Noufal has already done a great job of explaining
the issues. To summarise his points, you have two
choices:
- You can release your code under the GPL. IMHO,
this is exactly what you should be doing. Releasing
under the GPL does *not* prohibit you from charging
for the code.
- If for whatever reason (such as wanting complete
control over future work), your customer or you wants
not to be encumbered by the GPL, you *have* to buy
a commercial licence from PyQT (be warned that I
have not read the PyQT licence, but am going by what
the discussion on this list indicates.
Please do contact me off-list, or on my mobile if
you wish to discuss this further.
Regards,
Gora
