Again, given the facts that we currently have, Qt will be doing fine. First, it is covered by the LGPL, which is fine even for many commercial applications. Second, the Digia deal shows that they continue to care about commercial customers, otherwise they could have just dropped that business (or let it rot).

Conclusion: even if Nokia becomes disinterested in Qt, the source is out there and the governance structure is being build.
