Licensing question

[David Martinez]

Hello,

I'm getting a bit confused in terms of licensing for PyQt. Would I require a license if we are developing in-house tools that are not going to be distributed outside? I've tried to look for information in regards of licensing but every new article I read seems to have a different take on it.

We are using Maya2013 SP2 at the moment which means that we can't use PySide natively.

What are your thoughts/experiences with it?

Many thanks and happy new year!

Short story: No. The license options for PyQt are primarily about external/commercial distribution of your code.

You should read the PyQt licensing page: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/license. The non-commercial version of PyQt uses a GPL license which you can use for internal tools without issue. Internal distribution is address in the GPL FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#InternalDistribution

Also, don't let Maya 2013 turn you off of PySide. With only a little bit of environment setup and binaries that match the python version in Maya, you can easily get PySide running. I'm using PySide in Maya 2012 for almost all UI needs.
