Jonathan Riddell writes: "Two recent articles cover the success of Trolltech and their product Qt 4, on which KDE 4 will be based. Trolltech: A case study in open source business looks at the continued growth of the company based on dual licenced Free Software. The article describes what KDE and Trolltech gain from each other, including user feedback to Trolltech and sponsored developers for KDE. The Australian Computerworld declairs that Qt 4 raises the bar for cross-platform app dev tools. They cover the separate modules of Qt 4 and the cross-platform quality, giving it a 9.2 out of 10 approval rating."

[As pointed out in the KDE News post, the Computer World article erroneously refers to software in the public domain. This stuff has been around for over 22 years. Seems like professionals in the field would have some concept of this by now. - Ed]
