Thanks for the feedback.

It is more than just the GPLv2 license. There are some technical issues as well that are a bit more problematic for phoneME due to the nature of the application.

https://publish.ovi.com/account/terms_and_conditions

Section 5.2: While phoneME may not cause any problems by itself, some midlets running on top of it may behave stupid, and I do not want to be held accountable for it.

Section 5.4: Making a separate downloader application for phoneME from my website would violate this term

Section 6: I am OK with that as long as Nokia sticks to the terms of the GPLv2 license (which I doubt they will comply with)

Section 7.1: phoneME is a fairly complex piece of software with a large portion of the code owned and released under GPLv2 by Sun/Oracle, not by me. This is why I asked the Oracle guys about their opinion

Section 8: Nokia can modify whatever they want, but will they release the sources of the changes?

Section 16: phoneME is released without the classpath exception, so if somebody decides to package phoneME with his/her closed source midlet, they have to open source their app too.

Section 17.5: IANAL, but these terms seem to be in violation with the GPLv2 license

Section 17.6.5: phoneME is an enabling technology to run other applications which can impair the operation of your device.

Section 4.9: So, you all promise to respond to customers within five business days? I am already getting a lot of mails why some midlets do not work (basically because I do not support all JSRs, or bugs in the midlets themselves). I for sure cannot guarantee I will always respond to issues within this time period.

I don't want to sound paranoid, but I presume these T&C are there for a reason. Just submit and see what happens is not something that I would feel comfortable with. Also, the fact that there are many GPL applications in the store is not a solid reason.

Cheers,
Davy
