Just confirm myself, Jolla is indeed part of Nokia's Bridge program so they look to be safe from some weird situation where Nokia decides to sue them as far as OS goes.

Somehow I doubt Nokia will use their patent portfolio against Jolla. Though you can expect Nokia to go full patent troll mode next year as it will end countless of cross licensing deals with manufacturers, Qualcomm and the likes and use its patent portfolio fully. Nokia did already gather 400 million euros just from patents yearly. It wont need to play nice anymore.

Certainly a possibility. Maybe Microsoft is too busy on with throwing all of that email, contacts and calendar synchronisation etc etc patent stuff against Android to care about the miniscule Jolla, for now at least.
