abill_uk, read again my post above. It is pointless to keep nurturing that discussion. I understand your reasoning, my explanation should be also easy to understand. If you still want to "discuss" the opening of software components then go to one of the many threads about this topic e.g. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84478 . It doesn't belong to the informative and productive thread we have here.

At this point it is up to this community to decide what hopes does it stand for. The Nokia strategy related to maemo.org and Linux or Qt development is clear. The licensing of Maemo and Harmattan proprietary components is clear. And (in reference to this thread) it is now also clear that Nokia will keep funding the maemo.org maintenance until the end of this year - giving the 6 month notice that we have always mentioned for a worst case scenario.

If you are interested in the future of this community then plan with this scenario in mind. If you are skeptical but still appreciate this community, then help (or simply let) those willing to push it further by avoiding distractions and focusing on what matters.

I don't have an agenda about the future of this community, and Nokia doesn't have it either. It's all in your hands.
