Everything out there is LGPL! But you cannot just use that argument to
keep Tkinter. So are you suggesting that we just hold on Tkinter
forver! Are you mad? Can you image Python still lugging around the
antiquated Tkinter module in 2020? That's a nightmare. You know damn
good and well that even nine years from now TclTk will be two decades
behind in development. AND SLOWER THAN EVER!
