[Manish Chakravarty]

Please have a look at this:

QUOTE:
To fulfil the purpose of the Foundation, an
agreement<http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.php#agreement>between
Trolltech and the Foundation was made. This gives the Foundation the
right to release Qt under a BSD-style license in case Trolltech doesn't
continue the development of the Qt Free Edition for any reason including,
but not limited to, a buy-out of Trolltech, a merger or bankruptcy.
UNQUOTE

AFAIK, if Qt is not released for a year by TT or it's parent company (
Nokia) the last GPL-ed version of Qt will be released with BSD licensing.

This is a very long shot though. Qt/TT arent going  away anytime soon IMHO!
