PyQt5 extended support for FOSS projects
-
I know about the extended support for Qt5 but I didn't understand all details.
https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.15-extended-support-for-subscription-license-holders#contactopenSo I have two question.
-
Is the life time of PyQt the same as Qt?
-
What is about FOSS (GPLv2) projects using PyQt5? Do they have an automatic "subscription license"?
I don't understand the license model.

Hi,
PyQt5 is not the bindings offered by the Qt Company. That would be PySide2/PySide6.
For PyQt5, you should contact the author directly.

Are you sure? The copyright infos here on that PyPi page telling me something different.
https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/
and
https://www.pythonguis.com/faq/pyqt5-vs-pyside2/
Riverbank is named there.

Quite sure, as both @SGaist & @mchinand have said! What do you think is telling you anything "different" in your references? They tell you just the same as we are saying!

That's a message that is on the Riverbank Computing mailing list stating that Riverbank Computing will end its support of PyQt5 which is their product. Again, nothing to do with the Qt Company itself.

Did you read the whole thread here? @mchinand still explained that in a very serious and friendly way without bashing the competitors at Riverbank.
