Nokia is to sell the commercial license of Qt to a company called Digia has swallowed part of the Finnish workforce. Qt is available under two licenses. The first one is free (LGPL) and is the second fee. Aimed at professionals, it is synonymous with service and technology for this environment. Its promotion and management previously provided by Nokia.
However, by the end of March, the vesting of the latter license by Digia means that Nokia dropped a little more of this framework. The community worried about the future of Qt after the announcement of Nokia Phone Windows 7 and the fact that the next operating system Finnish abandon. Nokia says it will continue to participate in its development.
However one can not help thinking that with this agreement, it takes even more away from this project. As a reminder, Qt is an object-oriented framework which has the great advantage of running on multiple platforms, including among others Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux/X11, Windows CE, Symbian and MeeGo, which reduces in principle the development of Applications for these systems.
