Nokia to buy TrollTech ?

Nokia and TrollTech (the people who write QT, the widget library that KDE uses, and who are a supporting sponsor of LCA 2008) are working out a purchase agreement (PDF joint letter).

Given that Nokia don’t seem to have a clue about open standards (Theora “proprietary” indeed) this doesn’t sound like a particularly promising deal to me. :-(
