Well yeah maybe at least asking them would have not hurt, but Google wants it all. There was example talk about when Nokia joined WP, that one of the reasons they did not join Android was that Nokia could not make Nokia Maps default on their phones. Or think about Kindle and how that isn't licensed by Google.

What do you think Google would think about Jolla's own OS and it not using Google maps?
Personally I don't need or want any Google services to my Jolla, so I'm fine.
