But also for this funding I would *expect* that they will try to get rid of it as much as possible since Qt is not a strategic platform for them anymore - at least not to the extend as it was planned at the time acquiring Trolltech. It started with outsourcing the professional services (or what it was called) already and I wouldn't be too surprised if they would sell Qt altogether again. I even can understand this and I am not blaming them! It is a perfectly legal and logic business decision. But it does not help the fact that Linux-mobile, be it Qt or whatever based, is not a business at Nokia any more. And Nokia being a business "limits" the potential support you can expect from them for things not creating revenue.
