Not going to work if it is applied to a closed source, this community has proved that and i was bringing in Nokia as a perfect example.
What's closed source? I'm not following your argument since it's not framed properly with the content in this thread.

Mind you, I'm trying to understand, but as it stands, what's closed source so far on the N950/N9 is the Swipe UX. The rest, open. LF is stating that they are not going to house possibly patent infringing software, but they're not dooming Linux. It will exist, people will still be able to develop for Linux and thus MeeGo.

Nothing is going away other than the fact that the repositories as we know it will not exist for MeeGo. But it doesn't mean that Linux dies.

Linux will prevail. It's the software that will be housed differently.
