totally agree
think you just forgot the one aspect of GNU / Linux that makes it... GNU (the freedom to share & improve software)... source code
i don't think we get the source code of the OVI apps, but, well, hopefully NOKIA does some checking on those, right ?!?
and anything else, well... if you don't get the source code... don't even download it
