Probably PyOtherSide will be the cleaner and faster approach to bring QML and Python together.

Cleaner ... probably not, it s require a bit of c glue code ... we probably can make a qml extension ...

But yes i m currently playing with it, and that's a real solution (once you have callback or threading) (http://github.com/khertan/pyotherside a version which support threading)

Wow that was fast: KhtNotes running with pyOtherSide on N9.

Huawei P2 and Jolla phone look similar in design, they hired the same designer from Infinity

Did the same designer do the P6 too?

Our goal with the Sailfish OS is to develop an open source operating system in co-operation with the community, thus ensuring the development of a best-of-breed operating system. We believe this will act as a refreshing sea-wind that will help push the industry forward.

A key tool for the achievement of this goal is ensuring that the operating system will be licensed under an open source licensing model that encourages and facilitates community participation. As we have built Sailfish on top of existing open source projects such as Mer, we also want to make sure that the community will benefit from the work we have done.

We are currently in the process of putting in place the processes and licensing structures that will enable you, the community, to take part in developing Sailfish. For now, if you are eager to contribute code, we encourage you to join and contribute to existing open source projects such as Mer and Nemo, in which our developers are also active participants.

In the meantime, if you are interested in hearing more about the opportunities for the licensing Sailfish OS, we encourage you to get in touch with us at info@sailfishos.org.

So hopefully they won't lose the momentum and won't retain their applications and UI closed source.

AFAIK this has been on the homepage since february so I am suprised they still not has a clear solution it seems.

Seriously I wonder if they really has a good business license model... I mean they have to have money to continue with nextgen device. But if no one else licensing sailfishos, Jolla will be doomed after first phone if they dont sell as crazy. As Marc already has said in some interview companys are still affraid of opensource and especially GPL. That may be a reason silica is BSD.
