How does it feel working for free? Better. Trolltech GPL'ing Qtopia had no effect on further versions since it was impossible to get code into this GPL version upstream. To make it into the official version, you needed to give up all copyright, so that Trolltech could continue selling it. With Nokia, it looks like there is essentially a two-way code flow [We->Nokia + Nokia->We] instead of the one-way code flow we had with Qtopia. That alone makes me feel better because it looks like Nokia is valuing our contributions more than just for advertising how many open source apps there are for the platform. -- Regards, Mickey. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dipl.-Inf.
