I would think that the main reason here is that Nokia is going a different direction w/ their smart phones. They were using it as an internal launch platform for their Symbian OS based phones. Since their focus is now w/ windows mobile, they no longer have any particular interest in being the primary caretakers of the project. IE: The maintenance costs exceed any benefit they'll have from it internally.
They dropped Symbian a month before hocking the commercial licensing off to Digia.

I had a hell of a time trying to download it the other day. I may just be completely incompetent but everything I clicked on wanted me to buy a license. I couldn't figure it out.

Tell me about it. I went through the same thing last week. I finally found a download link and then it said "debugger not found". I had to install the debugger and make as separate binaries or something. The whole thing is just a giant reesting pain in ballsack since it left Nokia.
