I see this as some people from the old Nokia we actually liked, trying to save things from Elops stupidity.

Like a mother giving away her child as it will be under attack if it stays at home.

Also good luck with the Windows 8 qt! Microsoft will need to be bought over, they will never happily accept qt, especially after trying to kill it!

my guess is nokia up and digia down or around the same as before.
Digia up 10,42% in Helsinki at the moment. (They also annouced quaterly results today. Back on profit after few bad quarters).

Nokia up 5,51%.

I don't think Qt on Windows 8 will be a problem. Qt on Windows Phone 8 on the other hand might be though not as big a problem as WP7 was.

Just because you are a hot head governed exclusively by bad feelings (and no reason) doesn't mean everybody else are. Business is business, choices has to be made. Qt didn't fit in. That is all there is to it. Besides, this is the best that could ever happened to qt. Now it is free to be used anywhere with no strings of any kind.

Huh huh... "quickly" remains to be seen, perhaps :-)

But if they really do bring Qt to Android (preferably along with PyQt or PySide), allowing people to create useful apps like we did on Maemo... well at least there would be *one* positive outcome from this long and painful Nokia debacle...

I'm confused on this. Digia is, and has been for quite some time, the Commercialized version of Qt. Now unless they start putting some of the commercial modules (read non-free for open source programmers) back into the mainline, then this is pretty much business as usual for them. I don't think they can take anything away from Qt, but it seems most of the mobile parts of the libraries are governed by non-GPL or non-LGPL licenses.

Someone from the Qt project I'm sure could tell it better, and more accurately.

Before they were only handling commercial licensing and professional support for Qt commercial licenses.

Now they bought the "whole" Qt Labs from Nokia. All of Nokia's former Qt developer teams now work for Digia. Its a big change.

Yep, here is the news.

http://www.reuters.com/finance/stock...rticle/2587375

Nokia also sold patents to Vringo today. The same Vringo that is in a patent dispute with google.

P.S. I find it odd that the Nokia stock thread was closed. Could somebody explain that please?

Those who have power are pleased to invoke it in the manner that pleases them.It is not for us mortals to question or even understand what they do. Their explanations would not make sense to us anyway, the gulf that always separates the human from the divine.
