That will hold the water until we encounter problem with closed-source drivers.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
  • Negotiating with Nokia to open the source (probably will not work)
  • Legally obtain technical documentation from Nokia/other vendors and implement open source alternatives.
  • Reverse engineering (this can be very painful).
  • Negotiating with Nokia to provide updated closed source binaries (this is something stskeeps got tasked to do for N900)
