For the rest of us, this is fantastic news.

Is Nokia the making the full Qt toolkit LGPL, or just the parts that
were previously GPL? (Can't read Norwegian if it's in the article.)
The "full" Qt toolkit <4.5 is dual-licensed Commercial/GPL, and the "full" Qt
toolkit >=4.5 will be Commercial/LGPL/GPL. Trolltech did have a few extra
libraries that were just Commercial, IIRC, but these were relatively small. What
people usually call "Qt" (i.e. all of the stuff that PyQt wraps) is going to be
LGPLed.
You can get more information in English at the new Qt site here:
