Interview With Trolltech's CEO and CTO Eirik Eng 266
jlp2097 writes "There is a great and lengthy interview at the The Dot with Eirik Eng, CEO of Trolltech, and Matthias Ettrich, founder of the KDE project and CTO of Trolltech. They talk about the recent X(Free86) trouble, accessibility in QT, Trolltech's finances, Qtopia, the OS X Port and a GPL'd Windows QT - it's probably not going to happen. And, did you know that Qt is pronounced 'Cute' by its creators?"
Question for Eirik Eng (Score:0, Funny)
How do you feel that the license infighting regarding the GPL and QPL has effected open source's inroads into the corporation? Have you received many inquiries regarding a fully unencumbered GPL application across all platforms that integrates Qt?
I thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
Seth Finklestein

I still can't pronounce it "tickle" without feeling like I'm somehow being intimate with everyone in the room. It's all about the mental picture. At least "cute" doesn't conote a bad mental piture. I mean, come on... Have some cooth! What if someone came up with a language called BT or FK or SHT? How would you want people to pronouce those languages in a staff meeting?
