To answer that question, I want to contribute to Sailfish, but since I am not a developer and Jolla doesn't let me support them apart from purchasing a tablet which I did not desire let alone need, and which in retrospect puts Sailfish on a side track with cool features like peek, cover gestures, pulley favorites menu, favorites application menu, OOM ,affected for the worse I would love to financially support freelance people willing to put effort in Sailfish OS to make it their gem.

I have stated many times also on other websites that I would pay 100 Euro for a Sailfish License fully supported on a few solid hardware (Fairphone, Yotaphone, Samsung if it must, or better Nokia ex-Windows Phone).

Would it not be nice and sufficient if Jolla would open up everything pre-Sailfish 2.0 for the community (and let Sailfish 2.0 become the bloatware Android clone alternative for big telecom giant's budget phone)? I suppose Jolla 1.x mid 2015 would be a nice enough base?
