I'd say the availability of NDK for WP has the same interest for FOSS like ability to have ports for desktop Windows (like that of Firefox, LibreOffice etc.). I.e. it helps people to switch away from proprietary platforms, while still maintaining some familiar software stack

Alright. I will make Nokia/MS an offer. Give me a device where I can develop and run PyQt applications and I will buy it. Otherwise, forget it.
There!
There!

Since WP7 is nothing but a runtime environment for Sliverlight and XNA applets, Qt on WP7 is even technically totally out of scope.

You realize if WP fails then the Nokia Microsoft partnership will fail and ultimately Nokia's smartphone division will fail. Whatever marketshare/mindshare Symbian has is getting swallowed up by iOS and Android at an ever increasing rate. For atleast the next three years, it's in every Nokia fans best interest that WP is a success with the help of Nokia. With three major OSes for smartphones each with roughly 25-35% marketshare/mindshare, Nokia would have the opportunity to release a FOSS “disruption” after splitting with MS. Hopefully the MS Nokia partnership can give Nokia the opportunity to have a dominant global marketshare/mindshare again.

But what I posted above does make sense= ARM-based tablets utilizing the Qt-framework within Windows8.

It's in every Nokia fans best interest that WP is a success with the help of Nokia.
a) Elop announces that the deal with Microsoft is a resounding success and will build on it to make even more WP phones
or
b) Elop announces Nokia is making too much money on WP phones so now it will spend it on making a "FOSS disruption" phone.

Assuming that all Nokia fans do rush out and buy up all Nokia WP phones and make it a "success". What do you think is more likely:
a) Elop announces that the deal with Microsoft is a resounding success and will build on it to make even more WP phones
or
b) Elop announces Nokia is making too much money on WP phones so now it will spend it on making a "FOSS disruption" phone.
Nokia's bad decision of the decade was NOT executing a full scale international patent war assault on the Cupertino Crew upon the release of the original iPhone in 2007. Patent war Armageddon should have come and gone taking with it Stevie Job's beloved iPhone and allowing for the release of the scientists that he still probably has locked in his basement.

You prefer Nokia to become another patent troll? I wouldn't buy a thing from them in that case. Doing it in defense isn't the same though.
