I'm not sure I'd still call Maemo closed-source, though. It was open-source BASED... but ultimately, the proper term would be 'open-core software'. Which is, in some ways, worse than closed-source because it's really a trap disguised as openness. Check out that link--there's even a little diddly in there about how community is used and abused by it. Go on. You know you want to.

Well as crazy as this thread might seem so was the idea of bringing together Maemo.org as it totally relied upon Nokia for its formula to write open based software on a closed OS in partial.

As much as this thread also seems a crazy idea to ysss... the discussion had to be here because of the fact of Nokia's direction now so as crazy as it seems i am not that crazy

.

I am not here to understand and i do not need "supoort" from this disussion either, merely talk is enough so when you all get down to basics and stop the waffle, something might come out in a sensible manner !.

I agree with your comments especially the higlighted one !.
