I don't remember where I read it but I've heard it could be a bad thing with Digia buying QT. No idea why though. Lets just hope that it's a good thing nonetheless. |

They're the ones that took over commercial licensing of Qt when Elopicrosoft took over Nokia or shortly after that.

Probably not... digia is tied heavily to a certain company. So why did they purchase the Qt Licensing part to start? Well the other shoe has dropped... digia purchases it...it sits and lanquishes Qt thus preventing the Qt Poison Pill option... which is the goal... This is probably a very bad thing.... ms has killed nokia ms is trying to back door kill off things one piece at a time till you can't develop for Linux or the options are so poor... Killing off Qt is a prevention of tools being able to run on their "platform/os" ie: KDE on non Linux/BSD or a way to replace their unitiyesque interface. This is most definitely not the outcome wanted. Regardless of what is being posted here: » dot.kde.org/2012/06/25/digia-aka···g-memberor here: » lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=134···645&q=p3Going to have to make me belive this is one a good option, and two the best option..... and work hard.

I'm pretty sure they would have happily sold it to the highest bidder, being cash poor and all. I think they sold it to the only bidder, however. Isn't Qt safely open sourced anyway?

Brewster, WA | LGPL2.1, GPLv2, GPLv3, and the buy a commercial license option. I think most uses are covered.
