Nokia Purchases Trolltech

First it was Sun purchasing MySQL...

As seen on Slashdot, Nokia is acquiring Trolltech.  Given the outrageous royalties for mobile devices, the deal makes sense for Nokia if they intend to use Qtopia.

I have been evaluating going with Qt for cross-platform development.  But the commercial license is prohibitively expensive, and you have to speak to a sales representative just to get a price, which is very annoying to me.

It makes you wonder what will happen with the successful open source projects.
