Agreed. I've never been interested in anything Blackberry before, but QNX with their WebOS-like UI and Qt native apps could be a very nice platform.
equinox put it very well - My interpretation of things: Since Nokia is now (or starting next week) a Windows 7 outfit, we're no longer investing resources in this. So, we'll make it open source and hope that the community will sustain it. This is sad.
So QT is GPL now instead of LGPL? Also what about pyQT, is it still LGPL?
Is it? The contributor agreement page says LGPL.
You got it the other way round. QT is LGPL, PyQT has always been GPL. For Python, there is an alternative Qt binding called PySide which is LGPL.
