Nokia bought Trolltech (geeky)
RIP, Qt and KDE.
of all the fights in open source world, the fights over desktop environment draws blood only next to the holy war, namely the battle between THE two godly editors, vim and emacs. But now of the two major desktop environment, gnome somewhat leans towards Mono, a proprientary framework and the other one, KDE, is now "owned" by Nokia. Oh my! How I hope it is sun instead of nokia. Sun will at least keep the GPL (general public license), but with nokia I expect that Qt and KDE will move to LGPL. What a shame.
