I wasn't in the Maemo Summit so I'm a bit in the dark about this and would appreciate if someone could possibly clarify some things.
First of all, I am talking about DRM here with regard to applications. I don't plan on using DRM'd music or video right now but I might end up using commercial applications or games that insist on some sort of DRM to (try to) prevent unwanted copying. I can live with that as long as I have the choice to use or not to use them. I also don't plan on buying a subsidised device from a mobile operator but an unlocked version.
What I'm wondering about is how much the "hackability" will be affected by this DRM scheme. Example: Some bluetooth profiles are missing out of the box in Maemo 6 like now and would require some hacking to make them work. Could I do this hacking with root access in the "open mode" and then boot back to the "drm-mode" to be able to run my DRM'd applications or games or voice-guided nav with Nokia Maps _and_ have the bluetooth profiles work or would I have to boot back to the "open mode" every time I wanted to use the profiles?
Another example could be something like plugging in accessories or peripherals that won't work out of the box and would require for example driver installation or configuration. In a case like this, am I able to do the driver installation/configuration in "open mode" and have these still work in the "drm-mode"? Or will it be an either-or situation?
