KDE Free Qt Foundation predates the whole Nokia debacle and smartphones by more than a decade.

My bad, I misremembered and should have double checked that.

You are right. It was Nokia buying Trolltech and getting the seats on the board of the KDE Free Qt Foundation in 2008 that I was not recalling properly. It's been a minute.

Thanks for catching my miss.

We can all continue to rely on the freedom aspect of Qt and KDE, the Foundation was ahead of the pack in protecting the openness through the risks of privatization.
