Qt to be spun off into a separate company
Digia, the current owner of the Qt toolkit, has announced
that Qt will be split off into a separate company that will be able to
focus more on commercial licensing. "The importance of Digia’s
commercial business for securing the future of Qt cannot be underestimated
as it drives Qt’s foundation and everyday operations. A look into the
commit statistics shows that around 75% of all code submissions to
qt-project.org come from Digia employees. In addition, Digia manages the
release process and the CI and testing infrastructure, thus covering more
than 85% of the costs of developing Qt."
