Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer （KDE Free Qt Foundation）和 Martin Konold （KDE合作建立者）说：“我们完全支持Qt工程所做的工作。一个开放管理的Qt是所有Qt开发者最大的福祉。Qt工程这一开放管理的结构，增强了开发人员影响Qt发展方向与步伐的力量。未来Qt的利益相关人，比如KDE等，现在就可以根据它们自己的定位，贡献Qt，并在Qt对它们至关重要的子领域占据所有权。”
为确保贡献条款对个人开发者的公平公正，KDE Free Qt Foundation （KDE自由Qt基金会）与两名律师签定了合约。我们感谢诺基亚将他们的反馈纳入考虑，感谢诺基亚与其他一些有兴趣的第三方合作，以使Qt贡献许可协议1.1（Qt Contribution License Agreement 1.1 ）得到广泛支持。
KDE Free Qt Foundation 的目的是确保Qt将永远作为自由软件（LGPL 2.1和GPL 3）可用。KDE和诺基亚之间的法律协议确保着Qt的自由永久合法，并且现在已经可以作为一项坚固的法律基石，奠定Qt作为一个由社区发展的自由软件工程的健康成长之路。

KDE Applauds Qt's Move to Open Governance
By: Lydia Pintscher Otc 21, 2011
Today Nokia announced the start of the open governance model for Qt, known as the Qt Project. The Qt Project allows both companies and individuals to contribute to the development of Qt. KDE supports this move and is excited about the possibilities it brings. We have been waiting for opportunities to take a more active role in Qt's future for a long time and open governance will make this easier. KDE has been working closely with Qt during its 15 year lifetime and the Qt Project promises to bring this collaboration to a new level.
Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer (KDE Free Qt Foundation) and Martin Konold (co-founder of KDE) said: "We fully support the work being done with the Qt Project. An openly governed Qt is in the best interests of all Qt developers. The Open Governance structure of the Qt Project empowers developers to influence the direction and the pace of Qt development. Stakeholders in the future of Qt, such as KDE, can now contribute according to their own priorities and take ownership over areas of Qt that are of particular importance to them."
To ensure the fairness of the contribution terms to individual developers, two lawyers were contracted by the KDE Free Qt Foundation. We thank Nokia for taking their feedback into account, and for working with a number of other interested third parties so that the Qt Contribution License Agreement 1.1 is widely supported.
The purpose of the KDE Free Qt Foundation is to ensure that Qt will always be available as Free Software (LGPL 2.1 and GPL 3). The legal agreements between KDE and Nokia ensuring the freedom of Qt remain valid and can now act as solid legal footings for Qt as a community-developed Free Software project.
