Some interesting comments around this now. But perhaps the real reason

However if MS have a big enough hold on Nokia then they have a big hold
on QT and forking it to avoid having the V2 licenses could mean a couple
of years delay.
So maybe it isnt about phones but pooing on linux desktop??

Could be both, I did wonder what would become of QT when it was announced, but haven't Nokia and Microsoft come to some sort of partnership arrangement?

I was under the impression that Nokia haven't been bought by Microsoft, at least not yet. I wouldn't be surprised though if eventually Microsoft swallow Nokia up.
