Is Nokia pulling the plug on Symbian? (About time!) And will it use Windows Phone 7?

I would not be so sure. It is only a matter of legal budgets between parties that are going to the courts. Nokia vs MSoft? It is not even funny.

Microsoft has nothing to do with this. The clause says that if Qt stops being published as open source or the changes in the closed source version of Qt are not propagated to the OS version then the last published OS release of Qt automatically goes into public domain (i.e. is also published on BSD licence) so anyone can do anything with it including continuing development and selling as their own product.
