nope the ui is still under discussion internally whether to make it open source or not...

Sailfish OS may be open source but the product that ends up on Jolla phones will have closed bits...

Hm ok, this is what is discussed in this forum atm, but did you watch the SDK presentation this morning? This british guy emphasized that as good as everything is open source...

OS = DO
CS = REDO

/* or something like that */ :)

It's under discussion according to Stskeeps. We'll have to wait until they'll announce how exactly UI will be licensed.

i really want them to do well but i have a few questions which i will add later today to the doc which fill me with doubt on their proclaimations...

even the jolla binaries for qt creator have not been decided to be open source or not; they say mer and nemo are but for jolla binaries they are having internal discussions...

I have a question. Weren't they making another OS during the summer or something? Like one OS for the enthusiasts and another for like everyone else (AKA Sailfish). Anyone can recall? Or maybe I might be wrong.

Nemo isn't theirs though, I thought it was another OS made by them (maybe based on nemo).

PS: I'm just wondering because Sailfish didn't give me the hype. I just hope the other OS will be like hildon.

I can't remember anything about 2 OS from Jolla... maybe you mix this up with Nokia:
- Meego / Maemo / Harmattan for High-End
- Meltemi for Low-End
