Interesting news about this. Not sure if openSUSE will be affected at all, but I wouldn't be surprised if they change the licensing in some way.
They've already said they intend to maintain the dual-license strategy, and that they intend to permit Trolltech to operate in much it's current structure, rather than be absorbed into the Nokia fold. They intend to leverage Qt as cross-platform framework across desktop and mobile devices, and they've stated that they'll be further investing in KDE as well. Nokia is an organization that does not shy away from investing resources in R&D, even if they occassionally stumble on their go-to-market strategies. Obviously it's too soon to see how things will shakeout, the deal hasn't even gone through yet, but I think it's a good thing for desktop linux in general, for KDE specifically, and hence openSUSE. Just my two pennies. Cheers, KV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
