Also: I’m going to downgrade the severity for now, giving the upstream 
more time to try and resolve it.

Thanks for this bug and initiating the discussion upstream. Could you
please remind them of this issue? It would be really disappointing to
lose thg for a reason this silly.

Bug#993967: License incompatible with current Qt

[Bastian Germann]

Package: tortoisehg
Severity: serious

At https://groups.google.com/g/thg-dev/c/AYFxHk5aLKg/ I started a conversation about TortoiseHg 
(GPLv2-only) having an incompatible license with the currently packaged PyQt5 version (GPLv3). In 
almost a year, upstream did not do anything to handle the issue, so I file this bug. It should be 
possible to convert the source to PySide2 or QtPy (handles PyQt and PySide versions).
