While it would be great to get more code, I also think that route is going to prove futile in the long run. Not to say it's not something to keep in the file, but it's more like plan K now, vs plan A/B. The larger push right now is to make sure licenses are aligned so that, should Nokia become the next Megaupload, the builder and tools needed for the community to continue can be shared freely.

As has been pointed out already, if Nokia implodes that badly, then licenses won't be an issue, since there will be no lawyers to go after people breaking said licenses. The bigger worry is they become like Kodak, and it gets piece-mealed into something else that does still have lawyers. That avenue is being probed/explored right now by Council (and a few non-council that are helping out).

While I agree that people running for Council should make their POV clear on this, I think the appropriate place would be to add a question about it to the wiki page (there is already one that's close to it, btw), and ask that people check/update their answers and statements there.

Also, some people that have not answered (or even accepted their nomination yet...) are already quite active in efforts to move things forward for the community. Doing things like exploring setting up an OBS that would be easier to move/migrate with existing or developing OBS with other groups. They may be doing important things like that instead of following this thread, which for a while now has gone way off topic.
