I was discussing the issue with some PSF board members back in August 2011,
and that was the message then.

It's probably really neither. I think the problem was more due to the
overworked Nokia Qt organization having to deliver to an unpublished closed
project, while at the same time having to cater for the open Qt Project.
The open project probably couldn't be sufficiently prioritized - it wasn't
an issue with Qt Project itself, IMHO. Ever an optimist, I actually think
Digia has more interest in Qt Project in general and in PySide too.

I got a while ago in contact with Lars Knoll (Qt lead maintainer), and he
wanted to resolve the issue ASAP. Also talked to Tuukka Turunen (Digia Qt
Commercial Director), and he wanted to resolve the issue without delay,
too. So, let's hope for the best.

I don't care too much either way but maybe in the long term being part of

Me too, with the same condition. :-)

Cheers,

ma.
