There are several OSS suppliers that use GPL, and then try to define
its meaning.  They are welcome to comment on their understanding of
the GPL, but they do not have the authority to actually define its
legal ramifications.  Check with your company legal staff.

Having said that, I have been troubled by trolltech's approach from
the beginning, and therefore stay away from it.  PyGTK and wdxPython
are solid GUIs, without the legal uncertainty.
