Jolla needs about EUR 10 miilion for each year of operation, AFAIK. So some miilions of EUR would save Jolla Tablet and keep Jolla alive for some months. With more users, then Jolla could be profitable in 2016.

The images for tablet and other smartphones would be free, but available after Jolla work to make them more finished (all features working, almost all sensors supported, simple to install and update, etc).

Jolla would colaborate with HADK developers, improving the effort to make Sailfish OS a serious mobile OS for some selected smartphones and tablets.
