Revision history [back]

I recently saw a list of packages sorted by license and at first glance anything remotely Jolla specific was closed source. I'm more than a bit disappointed by this. It seems even android has a larger percentage of open sourced core applications. Is there any plan to make this Situation better?

I recently saw a list of packages sorted by license and at first glance anything remotely Jolla specific was closed source. I'm more than a bit disappointed by this. It seems even android has a larger percentage of open sourced core applications. Is there any plan to make this Situation better?

Let me elaborate a little on my question. Of cause it is polemic but the core is very serious. I preordered my Jolla because i was looking for a phone that was open "unlike" ios, android, windows... Jolla allways emphasizing their collaboration with the open source community seemed to be that phone. I could have gotten much better hardware and software features for quite a lot less money but my hope for a truely open but still awesome phone system lead me to buy Jolla. Jolla.

Update: rephrased my question to be a little less polemic. My hope, maybe a bit naive, was that Jolla would become what Openmoko should have been. But it seems that Jolla just took what the open source community had to offer and added their (beautiful but) proprietary UI System.
