Whlie I agree with the whole article, there is something wrong with it.
Nokia changed Qt's policy from dual-license, half-open model to a totally open, community based project, because they werent looking at Qt as a product to sell.
TrollTech's product was Qt. They used dual-license model to sell it. And it was partially closed.
Nokia's product is NOT Qt. Qt is a platform which they try to find partners, developers and community around it. They dont want to make money through Qt. They want Qt to be a perfect platform and complete transparency and openness is the way they achieve it.
