"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.

You may already fork QT if you want, but your fork must be under GPL as required by GPL. The agreement is about that if development of GPLed QT ever stop for whaterver reason, then the QT source will be released under BSD licence.
But does this also apply to Nokia? What I want to know is whether QT 4.9 or whatever released by Nokia is under the same agreement as QT4.0 released by Trolltech?

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).
