There is an agreement between kde and Qt software (formerly Trolltech) that allows forking Qt in the event that Qt becomes proprietary and closed source...
It is never going to happen as even if Nokia were inclined to relicense Qt they would inevitably end up competing with their own toolkit (which the forked version maybe ending up as lgpl a la gtk).
