I'm pretty sure you need a license to distribute even free QT software
for Windows. I understand that buying Black Adder is the cheapest way to
get a license for Python, rather than C++ development.
I've never used QT, so I can't speak to the advantages. One reason I
would consider switching, however, is that there are more Scientific
Widgets for QT (like http://qwt.sourceforge.net/). If you don't have a
need for those, then wx should be fine.
Others on this list can probably speak better as the
advantages/disadvantages of wx vs QT.
