Wrong.

They bought the Consulting side basically - where it was possible to buy commercial licenses (didn't buy the core developers). Qt's moving towards open governance and Nokia (as stated) has developers contributing to Qt.

This makes sense, really, to avoid commercial Qt users from despairing about Nokia's plans.

Sebastian Nyström
VP, Head of MeeGo, Qt & WebKit
Nokia

Oooo... I like that word for the Nokia affairs. Despairing.

We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

English is a stupid language actually. It got lots of words, but virtually no grammar. Not that I like learning grammar, this is why English is easy to learn. But all this god damned words...

The previous "top guy" was EVP, now just VP.

Next year the stewardship of Meego and Qt will be given to the Nokia House janitor. It's going to be his spare time responsibility.
