That's been my main point in several posts in this thread!
Sorry, but that's plain stupid.

It is one thing to have bme, the GL driver and some pulseaudio GSM components closed (a rather interested hacker could probably get #1 and #3 reimplemented in a week, and NOONE is getting #2 opened in the near future).

It is an entire different thing to have 40% of the system closed.

If you really believe this important difference in openness level is moot then I'm sorry but I think you'll have a hard time forward porting _anything_, because it clearly shows your lack of experience.
