I agree entirely. I do run KDE on some desktops, but feel a bit guilty, betraying the open source movement.. If Qt had been free & open in 1996, Gnome mighht never have existed. Or We could have used QT in Gnomme. The QT license was liberalized only after a long time, during which Gnome developed.


But I'd urge everybody to relax. Given the rate of software development within Nokia, most of us will not live long enough to see a QT based N8xx OS or programs. By the time we see "hello world"' based on QT for N800, I expect we will all have electronic brain implants and we will use telepathy to exchange data. PB will have released his wrap of KDE-19.4 by then, and we will eagerly watch for the release of MS Windows 'radioactive sunrise' edition for windows 2025.

Maybe that's too sarcastic. But we will have flying cars that can go under water and cloning of humans will finally let the market settle the age old debate on whether men really prefer Pamela Anderson to Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan.
