In Nokia-period, Qt gained (cot complet list) : * LGPL licence * creating Qt Quick for best mobile support * creating LightHouse (which become QPA) for best portability In final, I like actual Qt. I like Qt notorious, open gouvernance, mobile portability, future of Qt, etc. What care about Nokia ? It's past Guillaume
