Apparently it's still not obvious to you. Even the webkit2 based browser is closed. Only company I can think of that uses open source components and profits from it is Apple.

I know, I know... there are plenty of others, but Apple does that with webkit and Safari.

There are more than just the Swipe UI and the browser that's closed. And they use open source components... not cool. I think people need to understand more when they say open source and pertaining cellphones, it's conditional and limited.
