On Monday, OSNews had the pleasure of talking face to face with Trolltech's CEO and founder, Haavard Nord. Mr Nord discussed with us the new features found in Qt 3.3 (download, changes, announcement), Qtopia and the arising market of Linux in mobile phones as well as in the business computer market. Update: ITManagersJournal hosts a Trolltech article as well.

> but seeing that Qt# is dead shows us that there is not much demand for such a thing.
I think, one of the reasons, why Qt# is dead, is the license-mistake by Adam.
Qt# is licensed under the GPL (!) without any other license (so, it is not a dual- or trial-license) and without special exception. And Qt# is a library!
Qt for example is GPL, too. But it is also under the QPL. And if you want to use it in closed-source programs, you can buy a license for this.
GNU-Classpath on the other side, is only GPL. But it have special exceptions. Have a look at
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/license.html
But Qt# is only GPL-licensed. And Adam Treat don't saw the need to change the license.
So, Qt# is for a lot of projects lost code.
You can't use it for closed-source programs nor for OpenSource-programs, which are GPL-incompatible.
