"As far as your comments about PyQt proving out the concept, well duh! Just as there are a lot of proprietary programs that are relatively useless and *won't* have any GPLed versions written, nobody's going to waste time rewriting a marginally useful GPLed library just to put a permissive license on it, either." This being the sudden introduction of this notion of a "marginally useful" library. And for a long time no-one did rewrite PyQt for the purpose of having a permissively licensed library, so it's quite natural to assume that you're saying that until PySide came along, the reasons for which I have already noted, PyQt was a "marginally useful" library, not worth rewriting. > You really should slow down and read a bit more carefully.
