- has2k1, on 01/28/2008, -0/+4I really hope this is not bad news for the open source friendliness of Trolltech. In the past few months Trolltech has shown readiness to incorporate new technologies from the O.S community into their products. I don't know what to expect from this, but it had better be good.
- patpi, on 01/28/2008, -0/+3Open Source is good business now? Microsoft has troubles.
- ItsSnakeOil, on 01/28/2008, -0/+2On the one hand Nokia has in the past been very into open standards and open source.
On the other hand MS came down hard on them using Nokia as a platform to shoot down the W3C's support of Ogg and to emcumber Nokia devices with MS illegal media formats and DRM.
On the third hand, this could be just another large US company taking out a key open source technology. The Nokia leadership use every excuse to blame unpopular actions on US based shareholders and partners like MS.
Fortunately there is the KDE Free Qt Foundation in case things go south. If this is a case of the first option above, it could be the launch of a major open source commitment from Nokia. - kihbord, on 01/28/2008, -0/+2Yup, i'm still in a bit of a shock. The start of the year has it's surprises -- Sun buys mysql now Nokia acquires TrollTech
- Onestone, on 01/28/2008, -0/+2Hopefully Nokia will change Qt's license to LGPL.
- shishira, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1why Trolltech ? feeling depressed
- schestowitz, on 01/28/2008, -5/+3I've looked at this more closely and it seems like bad news
