Not sure why we are arguing. I said previously:

The argument that half the OS is open source and that community just have to write a UI is flawed here, because writing such UI is a huge work, as you pointed out...
In the same time, having spend so much money to develop it means they deserve a way to get back their money. That is the main problem with which Jolla struggle since the beginning, mainly to find manufacturers who would buy their OS and/or expertise, which didn't happened yet (still have to see what Intex will do), selling phones/tablet being not sufficient to fund it.

Nothing new here, this has been said countless times on TMO...
