    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.
