Digia To Acquire Qt From Nokia

First time accepted submitter MrvFD writes "Ever since the most recent layoffs were announced by Nokia last month and the end of Qt related programs at Nokia was rumored, the fate of Qt has been in the air despite it nowadays having a working open governance model. Fear no longer, Qt brand, since Digia has now announced acquiring the Qt organization from Nokia. While relatively unknown company to the masses, it has already been selling the non-free (non-LGPL) licenses of Qt for 1.5 years. Hopefully this'll mean a bright future for Qt in co-operation with other Qt wielding companies like Google, RIM, Canonical, Intel, Skype, Microsoft, Jolla and the thousands of Qt open source and commercial license users. Digia now plans to quickly enable Qt on Android, iOS and Windows 8 platforms, where work has already been underway for some time."

A company I've never heard of to acquire something I've never heard of from a company going out of business. Nice.

In the summer of '77, I was playing around-the-world in the driveway at dusk and my grandma was visiting. My little brother came tearing out of the house, "Look what Gramma brought us! (Spins it around) Star Wars!"

"So what?" I had never heard of it.

I assume this is like that.
