Jeremy,

Thanks for the direction...

We could select the SIP license[1], which is the PSF license with one
additional item:

4. Licensee may not use SIP to generate Python bindings for any C or
C++ library for which bindings are already provided by Riverbank.

Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?
