Where did you get that information from?

Is there any official word from Nokia about this?

I'm sorry, I may have turned a feather into 5 hens here..

I was listening to some colleagues discussing this and it seems like they

were chatting about Widows Phone development.

I asked for details, and this is the article they discussed:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/nokia-notifies-developers-that-qt-is-out-for-windows-phone-devel/

Sorry for shaking the bottle. Hopefully they won't touch QT for a while..

Still, it raises some thoughts now when it's somewhat in Microsofts

hands....

Now that Microsoft stops QT development through Nokia partnership ,

what happens with Eagle v6?

The only thing I've ever heard referred to as "QT" is QuickTime.  That

that's from Apple and should be irrelevant to Eagle anyway.

Here's an official statement from Nokia:

  http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/02/12/nokia-new-strategic-direction-what-is-the-future-for-qt/

Sounds like there's nothing to fear (at least for now).

OK, I did.  It looks like that's yet another middleware layer for web based

applications and of course smart phones.  What does that have to do with

Eagle?

Qt is used for the whole GUI of Eagle.

No idea where you get that impression! Qt has nothing to do with web or

mobile phones. It's a cross-platform GUI tool kit and the basis of the

KDE desktop environment for non-MS computers (rather as Gtk is for the

Gnome desktop). Eagle uses Qt for its user interface.
