Indeed at the beginning I was quite happy of the decision, honestly is better for Qt, to be far from the rotten and infected nails of Microsoft. I even thought that Nokia made a mistake giving it away to a small company, there are several examples of great works made by small companies in the Free Software scenes. So I screamed hooray! A new Trolltech! But, unlucky, looking at the Digia history I cannot find out its commitment in the Free Software and/or Open Source, but just this news (16/02): http://www.digia.com/C2256FEF0043E9C1/0/405002245 That sounds to me like lubricant to make it less painful, I hope you (all) get my point ;-( So, yes, this is a nefarious news We need a fork or forget Qt... Personally I'm trying to not use any Qt based application since few weeks. > > Regards, > Matthias Regards Antenore -- Antenore Gatta Free Software Foundation Europe FSFE fellow #1881 http://www.fsfeurope.org http://fslug.simbiosi.org _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
