Open hardware adaptation is a separate topic.
Seems I have to be more clear:

Can you tell me how real companys can make money of fully opensource software? In Jollas case qwhy on earth would any compay "license SailfishOS" if it in the same time was fully opensource? I also had asked that question lately about digia's Qt? Not many is my guess.. Probadly thats why Boot2Qt is not open.

Because that is what it is about in the end. You need money to pay your bills.

That is big difference from hobbyprojects like Vivaldi. I am sure those who contibute to Vivaldi has some income somewhere else.

But that seems people not to understand here. Probadly because mom and dad pay your bills...
