Philosophically, yes, perhaps, but technically they made a mess of it,
and the user-interaction of GTK is bad, too. Besides, it won't run on
Windows either. When I started with Kura a year and a half ago, PyQt
was the only Python toolkit that offered a decent range of widgets,
was stable and could be installed without breaking the rest of the system.
Of course, when I started, Kura was a KDE application that would
never run on Windows. That it runs on Windows at all is a nice
bonus, but not a focus.

No, that's obviously not illegal, since the Qt/X11 source code
is GPL'ed.
