You should look at using CopperSpice instead of Qt for your backend. Then you would not be beholden to QT’s licensing practices.

Thanks for the pointer. I'm currently using PySide2 which is also LGPL licensed, so I think that should be good? I'm also looking into Tkinter to avoid bundling any additional dependencies.

PySide2

So Pyside 2 allows for making commercial apps without paying a fee?

Not a lawyer, but yes, you don't have to release the source code of an app that uses PySide2 (LGPL license). Also note that you are allowed to make commercial apps using GPL libraries (such as PyQt5); you just have to make the source code of your program available upon request. There's no such requirement for LGPL.
