Nokia to developers: no Qt for Windows Phone development as posted on another HN thread. http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/nokia-notifies-developers-that-qt-is-out-for-windows-phone-devel/ http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/nokia-notifies-developers... Linux(KDE) has a lot of Qt stuff. Will the Nokia Microsoft marriage hurt Linux badly in some way?

Oh wow, I hadn't thought of that. Yeah I imagine this is likely to piss off Nokia's most loyal developers. I doubt Linux distributions are going to notice. QT will continue to be a rock solid first class platform even with minimal new development. It already has more features than it needs. They could probably coast for a decade before it begins to hurt on Linux.

  When I used it Qt was dual licensed, one way for commercial closed source, and GPL for open source. It can just be forked right?

    Sure, but who's going to enhance it and promote it and keep it growing and alive? KDE? Oracle? :-)
