This won't affect LiveCode any time soon, thus the OT, but as a point of
mobile development interest, folks might be interested in taking a look at
startup Jolla (http://www.jolla.com) who is creating an open source mobile
OS called Sailfish (https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Main_Page).  The company
(mostly ex-Nokia) is getting some US press at the moment, perhaps due to
Apple/Google fatigue, and is intent on creating an alternative to
iOS/Android.  The SDK appears to be tied to or based on Qt.

Also, for anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jolla will be talking
about Sailfish OS in Santa Clara from 7-9PM tomorrow evening as part of Qt
DeveloperDays (http://www.qtdeveloperdays.com/northamerica/).
