I have used and appreciated open source (Linux et al) for quite a long time, and while I'm not in the absolutist camp of Stallman, and while I appreciate Maemo's efforts to improve their transparency ratings, I also fear that Nokia as a company (or the NIT division specifically) can't change their long-held modus operandi fast or far enough to satisfy my needs as a computer user.

Sure, people think the NIT is a neat gadget, but I can't with good conscience recommend it to people as it exhibits a few too many traits of a captive platform. There isn't anything exactly comparable on the market at the moment, but there probably will be before long.

Meanwhile I'll just keep using mine and continue appreciating the efforts of the developers who try to move things forward the best they can.

And what comes to Dr Jaaksi's opinion about OSS needing to adopt ways from the proprietary industry... well I can't seem to find a polite way to put it so nevermind.
