w00t: So, most Sailfish specific packages remain closed now (browser, e-mail client and so on). Did Jolla already decide to keep them closed in the long term plans, or it's something not yet finalized?

I don't have any knowledge to comment about that, so let's say that as far as I know, it isn't finalized (on the basis that "no news means no decision")

I remember reading somewhere that they don't want someone else to steal their code prior to release and release a device before theirs. I think in a few months' time we may see a lot more open movement.

Right now they're still polishing their initial product (and even building new features), all of which have been designed already. Open source doesn't seem right at the moment.
