(*) Qt is most notably used in Autodesk, Google Earth, KDE, Adobe Photoshop Album, the European Space Agency, OPIE, Siemens, Volvo, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Skype, VLC media player, Samsung, Philips, Panasonic, VirtualBox and Mathematica. Knowing that Qt is used in many, many places (*), it’s sure that a company will give support to others, even if Nokia and Digia die. The deal will be completed by the end of this month, and Nokia’s Qt support team will remain in operation for at least the coming 12 months to ease the transition. They aim to target both the desktop and embedded space, and commercial customers will receive support for more hardware than Nokia currently provides, which is always good news. ![]() It’s Digia’s goal to invest significantly in Qt as a commercial development framework. “These professional services are not core business activities for Nokia, so since the introduction of the LGPL license for Qt in 2009 we have been actively working to grow the number of companies providing Qt services,” explains Nokia’s Sebastian Nystrom, head of MeeGo, Qt, and Webkit, “In 2010 we began the search for a company we could work with to serve the commercial licensees in the Qt community.” This means that Digia, which employs hundreds of Qt experts and has been serving the Qt community for quite a while now, will from here on out handle all commercial Qt licensing and support systems. It is this aspect of Qt that Nokia is selling. ![]() The commercial variant is required for some niches of the market – medical, aerospace, and defence, for instance – and also entitles the buyer to professional support from Nokia. There’s the open LGPL license, or a commercial one. So, what does this all mean? Well, as most of you are probably aware of, Qt works with a dual-licensing model. Today, Nokia announced that Digia will acquire the Qt Commercial software licensing and professional services business from Nokia. Since the web has a tendency to overstate things: no, Nokia is not selling Qt. ![]()
