About QT/Nokia again
The more I think about this acquisition, the more I steer away from wanting to use Qt for new development. I almost feel like the rug was pulled from under my feet. People who are more in the know than me seem to be confused or some what against this. You even have some of the Trolls questioning what the future might bring, check it out http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/01/30/about-the-nokia-acquisition/ and don't forget to read the comments.
Do I think it's all doom and gloom? No. I just don't want to invest a ton of time into a framework and have a corporation swing along restricting me from using it in open source development. If Nokia reaffirms the community they intend to keep Qt open source for a very long time through actions they take, then I will re-evaluate my position. I want to spend time developing solutions, not worrying about UI framework portability.
I'll just follow the yellow brick road.
