Issue #3: open source

I always read "make sailfish open source" But I think, for a Company they will earn money it is the wrong way. If Intex bring a SFOS Phone, they only can pay for the full package included the closed parts. No one pay for a completely open OS. And the money is the problem at the moment.

Option 1: Jolla can make a Yearly licence for individuals Option 2: Everything remains as before Option 3: Jolla goes bust

Wich one do you prefer?

Edit December 02 Thanks guys for the discussion. I knew it would take a lot for the downvotes for this. But not only Jolla, the community can be considered critical too And I as a skilled businessman can judge everything well. The truth is, Money makes the world go round. So you brought a lot of good ideas, and so I hope, someone of Jolla read this and draws the correct conclusions. That's why I started the discussion

In the end, we all want the same. Jolla and Sailfish must survive
