All in the name of control. No mobile OS is fully open source. My expectations for that have disappeared. A fully open source device might be ideal, but the time for dreams are over. Carriers want to brand and lock it down, governments want backdoors so they can track and snoop; nerds want it open but can't agree about a damn thing and meanwhile the products we tend to use aren't really open despite promises and use of open code. Most of it is never done out in the open. But you can't do that and make money... yet. I couldn't care less where the OS comes from. North America, Japan, China, Norway, Finland, your mother's purse. I truly don't give two ****s and pointing to the North American market as the catalyst; then MeeGo (Intel backing) should be a no-go too, right? That means no-go on Jolla too transitively. Because all they've done would be to add the presentational layer (oversimplifying a **** ton here) on top of the Intel/Nokia (North America company/North American handset division owned company by now) Linux Foundation (biggest office is in North America - San Francisco). Innovation, community, meritocracy and openness does not need to come from one continent. Enough talk. Where's the damn options? Pointing fingers produce absolutely nothing but more idle conversation.
