Big development in the GUI realm

For all you GUI developers, things just got a little more interesting.
Trolltech will soon be offering the QT GUI toolkit for Windows under
the GPL license.  That means that PyQt may become a much more popular
option in the near future.  Unfortunately, some things available for
the commercial customers of Trolltech are not available to the GPL
users.  For example, from their FAQ, it seems that no precompiled
binaries will be provided.  Support for comercial compilers will not be
built in, only for gcc (through Cygwin?).  Also, their database drivers
will not be available.  Oh, well, I guess you can't have it all.  Good
news though!

I wonder how this is going to affect the GUI landscape.
