Nokia Purchases Trolltech

autodeskguest

Hello everyone,

 

I saw a story running on slashdot today about Nokia buying Trolltech.  Any

ideas on how this may effect EAGLE as it is based on QT (by Trolltech)?  I

assume that CadSoft has a commercial license of the product so they have a

bit more leverage than KDE that uses a free license.

 

Cheers,

 

James.
