After Nokia purchsed Trolltech last year, doubts arose about how Nokia would handle the dual licensing model of Qt, the advanced cross-platform toolkit which lies at the base of the KDE Free software desktop. As it turns out, these doubts were unfounded, as Nokia today announced it's going to add the LGPL to Qt's licensing model, starting with Qt 4.5.

I would expect that the relicensing to LGPL and the opening of the developing process will attract many new contributors, FOSS and commercial, Linux, Windows, Mac and embedded devices. This will boost the progress on a huge level and that's why it was done.
