Yes, exactly. If the Nemo folks had purchased the closed-source licenses to the various hardware devices they are targeting, they wouldn't need to muck around trying to reverse-engineer everything. And that _would_ have allowed them to get up and running a lot more quickly.

And this is basically the route Jolla took.

I'm just saying, it feels really wrong to dump Nemo under the bus and demand Sailfish go fully open, when the one of the reasons Sailfish seems to be so far ahead of Nemo today is because Jolla chose not to go fully open...
