Qt versus Wx: How do two of the most popular Python frameworks compare?

I'm not a lawyer but I play one on the Internet sometimes. From what I can tell, there's nothing to prevent you from writing your application using the GPL/LGPL-licensed Qt libraries. The commercial license primarily provides support and a few add-on libraries. https://www.qt.io/licensing-comparison/

Thanks for the article! I've been telling myself for years that I should learn a GUI framework, and PyQt (because I'm a KDE user) and wxPython (because "wx" is a common abbreviation for "weather") were two that stood out to me. I'm still flipping that coin, but this article was an awesome introduction to the strengths and weaknesses of the two.
