[Interest] Digia to acquire Qt from Nokia

[Karl Ruetz]

As Obtuse as it might sound, for my company, it's worth the cost of
the commercial license just so we don't have to tip toe around all the
LPGL conditions and exceptions. 

We have found Digia to be very
reliable and responsive and, for now, we are very optimistic about
Digia's future with Qt.
