There's less than 10% of the source that's closed. You really believe the average consumer cares about the source *AT ALL*? They don't. It's only the programmers that care about that.. and they don't seem to mind and are even working on their own open sourced versions of the closed packages.

I guess the iPhone's so popular because it's 100% open source, hmm?
No, its popular because people know that apple is working on it to keep it running smoothly. Nokia on the other hand release a product than give up support on it.
