Hi!

I was browsing around for a good python IDE when i hit upon Eric (http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html). Then something hit me in the eye when i looked up the project description.

=======================================
In order to use eric3 under Win... operating systems you need a commercial or educational license of Qt 3.x from Trolltech and the corresponding license of PyQt (which includes QScintilla) from Riverbank.
=======================================


My question is, why does *using* an open source product based on GPL'ed QT, require a commercial license? After all, I am not using the library in an application which i am selling?

Does that mean that any GPL'ed code based windows application cannot be used for commercial purposes?
