Actually, Trolltech does not worry about it very much at all, we don't 
really see free software as competition. If we did, we wouldn't give our 
source code away.

We just think there is a better solution already out there, that 
requires much less work to deploy, and find it curious.

Not only am I an employee of Trolltech, I am also a member of the linux 
embedded community for nearly 4 years, and a member of the Opie core 
developers as well.

A community is just that - a community. It includes very many differing 
opinions. If you want to split this up into 'hoods you can.

Last I checked, membership in this community was open to anyone with an 
interest, and there were no restrictions placed on members employers. 
Please point me to the document where it states being an employee of 
Trolltech disallows me to be a member in this community, and I will not 
contribute further.

Further more, I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are. I am also 
entitled to defend jibes against my employer and it's products (which I 
have seen more than once on this list, which is fine - critisism is 
healthy), just as you are.
