Qt Company can't wiggle out from the contract it has with KDE. It must release Qt as open source withing 12 months. Qt stays open source.
The negotiations and uncertainty are related to all extra cooperation above that.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y ago12 months is fairly close to an eternity in software, though; that's a pretty big catch
