> Qt is lovely but the company that controls it is in a bad place financially and it's not clear what will become of Qt if they go under.

this part has always been clear:

"Should The Qt Company discontinue the development of the Qt Free Edition under the required licenses, then the Foundation has the right to release Qt under a BSD-style license or under other open source licenses. The agreements stay valid in case of a buy-out, a merger or bankruptcy."

Yep, but a hostile entity that owns Qt can do a lot of damage to Qt by publishing on the last permitted day, and denying community contributions and destroying community governance. I can definitely imagine a hostile corporation like Oracle doing so (and they have form).
