Actually, Trolltech does not worry about it very much at all, we don't really see free software as competition. If we did, we wouldn't give our source code away.

We just think there is a better solution already out there, that requires much less work to deploy, and find it curious.


There is never a better solution to any point. Qt/Qtopia is a good platform as well as Gtk/Gnome is. A strong point for using Gtk for Maemo might be the LGPL: if someone wants to develop a closed source application for maemo, he can do it without having to buy a commercial developers license first. Since Nokia wants to sell the device and not the development toolkit, this could be a good argument for the survival of the platform and the device itself. Sometimes software is just a feature of hardware...
