Ovi Apps, Which Ones Are Open-Source?
Hey... I'd like to know which one of the apps on Ovi store is open-source... I just see Free over there, which I think means I don't have to pay for them... But is there a way to see the license? Thanks in advance.

I like to know if an app is open-source, before installing it... Firefox is open-source...
One other thing... Is Angry Birds open? |

Re: Ovi Apps, Which Ones Are Open-Source?
Which makes me wonder: If, for example, somebody uploads GPLed content to the Ovi Store (and maybe uses some also GPLed third party code in his project) - how can he make sure the sources are readily available for those who download from the store? As for as I know Ovi Store doesn't provide a download section for source packages, does it?

1. Specify that it's source is openly available and include the link in the description. 2. Include an 'About' tab with the license and a link to the source. 3. Post HERE. Ovi store is better than the repositories for recognition. Only approx 50,000 registered users vs. more than 100,000 Maemo5 users. And each N900 comes with a link to the Ovi store. It wouldn't be completely unreasonable if a developer wants to share his work using the best way. ** Edit** There was an article saying that Nokia were surprised by how much the N900 sold. It said it sold 100,000 in the first 5 weeks, so I'd say total sales are probably more than 300,000. |

What Ovi Store can do is give you access to Symbian users. BTW, where did you get the "more than 100,000 Maemo users" from? |
Re: Ovi Apps, Which Ones Are Open-Source?
yes there's more than a 100000 n900 users out there, reported by nokia.
