Open source everything you're legally capable of open sourcing
Jolla makes big talk about user privacy and support of open source. It's meaningless if I don't know what's running on my device. What makes you special is the mindshare and the hardware capability - leaving the OS proprietary does nothing but betray your users, rather than doing you any business-related favors. The GNU/Linux scene could really use a good open-source touch-enabled operating system, you know? Give more back to the community you depend on so much. Bonus points if you reimplement the things you are not able to publish under a permissive license!
