I'm not affiliated with Nokia, but it does seem to be worth pointing out that Nokia's drive towards Open Governance was in case something like this were to happen. Nokia wants Qt to be controlled by the community, so that as an open-source project it can follow the wishes of the developers that use it and continue to grow regardless of Nokia's own use and vision for it. I'm confident Qt won't die; I'm just deeply disappointed that I won't be able to use it on my next smartphone like I was hoping to. /s/ Adam _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
