Re: OpenOffice has become LibreOffice?
I agree and heartily hope that this is the case. For me, Nokia maintained a moderate level of annoyance by their wishy-washy level of support of their devices. They had already pretty much deemed the N900 a dead platform within a few months of its release.
Now, with them dropping the entire works, I hope they crash and burn in the loudest and most painful way possible...And take MS with them.
Honestly, I saw the writing on the wall when Elom was named CEO of Nokia.
As for QT, I think that there are enough KDE devs into QT to their armpits that the community taking it over shouldn't be that much of an issue...

I tend to agree with this analysis, but that means bad stuff in the future for
Nokia, not for Qt.
