Nokia bought the Qt company, Trolltech, and sold off the part doing commercial support to Digia. The people actually hacking on Qt stayed with Nokia.

Now the question is how much actual development Digia can actually afford to keep.

That's true, there are risks, but at least Digia's finances are directly tied to the commercial success of Qt, so their survival depends on Qt being successful. The problem with Nokia was that Qt and Maemo/Meego were internal political footballs that most of the people doing the kicking had no vested interest in.

Doesn't look like Qt business is a big slice of Digia. They look like a big multinational IT house. At http://www.digia.com/en/Home/What-we-do/ it's only mentioned at the far bottom of the page...

That's my concern as well. Hopefully they will develop it and not just do token work to prevent the license from going to BSD. They may also just be trying to protect their previous investment by keeping Qt with a pulse.
