The rest of your comment is quite intelligent, but I find these lines to be quite the opposite.
PyQt is available under both the GPL & a commercial license (https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt/PyQtLicensing https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt/PyQtLicensing). What you & the article author seem to want is for other people to write software that you can use and modify for free while you charge your own users to use and modify the software you write.
That's, in a word, hypocrisy. If you want to distribute a commercial PyQt app, then buy a license; otherwise release under the GPL (or a compatible license).
