... they're also putting the source into a Git repository.

What ... is no-one else excited about that?

@Tom - yes they can, Nokia bought Trolltech, who made Qt - Trolltech also required copyright assignment for changes made to be incorporated back into Qt (although interestingly, Nokia are no longer requiring such copyright assignment, just a license).

Qt is a very good framework, much nicer to work with than MS' efforts. The cost to deploy Qt on non-GPL platforms has held it back.

its not theirs so they cant change the license.
