[Announce] Sailfish Browser is now Open Source!
 

The public repository is here: https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser

We intend to work as open as possible and hope to get contributors and get a chance to get our embedding code now more easily accepted to Mozilla upstream.

How will that work with UI code? Will you accept patches there too?

Re: [Announce] Sailfish Browser is now Open Source!
 

If they don't you can always make your own branch

Re: [Announce] Sailfish Browser is now Open Source!
 

Preferred way is first file an issue to issue tracker to discuss and review the the idea that you want to do.

Byt yes, we will allow pull requests also to UI side of code, but those pull requests needs to be approved by our designers. Thats why its better first file issue to issue tracker to discuss the changes. Ie. to avoid possible disapointments that you make a huge pull request just to be rejected if it conflicts the design documentation (which will also be available soonish https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser/issues/2).

Thanks Jolla! I hope the trend will continue for other core applications as well. This helps promoting trust which is a key for browser, e-mail, instant messaging and other communication tools.

@shmerl browser became opensoource because of Gecko license :)
core applications won't be opensoured, i think.

Re: [Announce] Sailfish Browser is now Open Source!
 

Not really. The UI is bound with Gecko in such way (IPC) that the license doesn't affect it (unless I'm mistaken). So it's a gesture of good will. Jolla phrased it this way:

And I expect them to open other applications, primarily all communication ones which are critical from privacy perspective.

I'm sharing sailfish-browser builds on openrepos. It's same stock browser, but with future features planned for next os updates.
