Yep, I saw this. However much of the (QT) development
and maintenance is from folks that receive a paycheck
form Nokia. Now that MS is in the picture, I sure
this burden will move to the Open Source Community,
particularly the KDE devs.


It's really nice when corporations at least partially
support open source code. Adding QT to the KDE teams'
responsibilities, is a burden. I have not read about
legions of Nokia (former QT) developers happy to support
QT without a paycheck......? 

Just a concern as I was hoping for a link to where the
(ex) Nokia QT devs are speaking out and pledging to take
AT forward.....?

All the above link sets forth is that there is a plausible,
legal path forward, not a team, organization or leadership.

After all, QT is very important to KDE and many other
gui devices (industrial controls for example). Is Nokia
pledging to keep moving QT forward? I read that MS owns
quite a large amount of Nokia now, and that (CEO) Stephen
is now Balmer's newest bitch.... That does not bode
well for QT, KDE or open source efforts, imho.
