"Nokia announced today the launch of Qt Extended 4.4, a complete mobile and embedded development platform based on the open source Qt toolkit. It is designed with a modular architecture that provides building blocks for assembling a Linux-based software stack for various embedded devices ranging from phones to set-top boxes." ArsTechnica showcases the various features and enhancements of the platform. There are some impressive screenshots of the Qt widgets as well.

"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

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).
