How did trolltech ever make money, except for Qt licensing? They had Qtopia and what not, but I don't think Nokia is continuing that.

- eliben 16y agoConsider how Digia used to make money (taken from Qt's blog on this news item) Employing hundreds of Qt experts, Digia has 7 years experience in providing top-class Qt competence, and is dedicated to continue and grow Qt Commercial relationships as well as to contribute innovation to the overall Qt LGPL and commercial community.
- teyc 16y agoI'd take that "hundreds" and divide it by 4 to arrive at the upper bound of the number of actual Qt developers Digia have.
- bergie 16y agoFrom when Nokia acquired TrollTech (http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3235 http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3235): Trolltech's total revenue is around €25 million. Total losses were around €6 million for the last couple of years. Total cash on hand at this point is around €13 million. They've got around 250 employees worldwide. No info, though, on how this was split between licensing and other professional services.
