Seems you also ignored their most recent move of restricting GPL releases.
.NET and C# aimed to kill Java though, it never had anything to do with Linux specifically. It wouldn't do much harm anyway, as it became pretty much one more language in an already huge selection.
The only ones really hit by that decision are small business (like the one I work for), because now we'll have to update too soon or stay outdated.
In this regard I think nobody will buy the commercial license and I hope QtCo ends up losing money instead.
That way maybe their shortsighted management will learn something

As I said, those parts are being removed or made into just a syntax wrapper. The parts that remain are significantly different from the standard library.

I know, but today we do have modern C++. So I'd avoid using Qt when they intersect. As above, in my opinion Qt is fine for a GUI toolkit, but not when it's used for libstdc++ replacement today which is what Roman pointed out in the past was one of the issues.

It's been a matter of time for 24 years.
Based on this I'm legitimately not very concerned.
PS: That doesn't mean ignoring some manager's bad ideas, but I'm not worried about Kde. At all
PPS: This reminds me of the whole paranoia around .Net, Mono, and C#.
Spoiler alert, Mono was not a trap, .Net Core is open source and will become the only .Net, and C# is awesome

How would Qt do that with the source code readily available and GPL licensed?
