[Interest] When Microsoft comes to purchase Qt what will be the outcome?

[Jérôme Godbout]

Exactly, they already have Xamarin, I don't any real advantage fro them to
buy Qt, Microsoft prefer their C# as a cross platform anyway. That would be
a huge surprise and a waste of money that doesn't add any real value. And
if they buy out Qt, I don't see why the open source part of it would not
remain the same. Anyway, anybody would be able to fork the open source part
of Qt and continue from there.

As far as I can see, Xamarin is still up and running just fine and so does
GitHub, unless we don't see something underground ground on?
