"Qt Software and Nokia are still committed to releasing Qt and Qt Extended under the GPL as open source", but "changes are a part of life".


Ok, that part I missed. If there is uncertainty about the future lisence for QT then I should maybe invest my time in some other toolkit? Its not GPL being a superior lisence to all others, but QT is expensive and I don't want to pay to release my apps as free software ;)
