Revision history [back]

From the Indiegogo page of the jolla tablet:

Jolla Tablet’s Sailfish operating system will be unlike anything you’ve tried before. Once you try it, you’ll never want to go back. Independent and powered by open source, change whatever you like, whenever you like.

That statement is clearly dishonest. Let me elaborate:

It is meant to make people think they get an open source OS with their Tablet. The honest thing to do would be to at least qualify that statement with a disclaimer that key parts of Sailfish are in fact closed source. Why does Jolla feel the need to mislead ther customers? Why not be honest? I recently sold my Jolla Phone because i was very unhappy with Jollas open source policy. I don't think Jolla wants more unhappy customers like me. Please just clarify it to the tablet customers then i will shut up.
