Which would benefit them how, exactly? Android and webOS (which can't be licensed) are just Linux systems with custom software stacks. The catch with Android is that Google is developing for their own purposes, and suddenly you're dependent on them staying interested (which conflicts directly with Ovi's services.) There's no gain going down that path.

And WP7, well, MS is playing Dictator with that and I seriously doubt they'd allow distribution of a WP7 phone with Qt. Never mind that you'd miss the market for anyone who bought and enjoyed using an N900.
