Then reverse that with action. It's an open source project and people can 
contribute to it, inside the Qt Project governance even. TQtC employees can 
contribute in their free time too, maybe even in Creative Fridays if they 
still have that.

It only appears TQtC decided not to invest direct money.

By the way, tmake was also opensourced when Trolltech decided to stop using 
it.

Sure, go ahead and gather your contributors. I still think qbs was/is a great 
idea. It's only lacking maturity.
