Unlikely...

The switch of Qt to LGPL will almost certainly vastly increase the Qt
user base. Leaving very few and minor imperfections aside, Qt is a
superior GUI library and programming framework, and its lack of free
license seriously impeded adoption in the past. The increase in Qt use
will also cause a great increase in PyQt use, and I would imagine
Riverbank will be able to make a good living from consulting on PyQt
topics, even if their sales from selling PyQt "licenses" decrease.
