As far as I can tell there is no relationship between Ovi and extras yet and thats what this thread is about, trying to figure out what that is?

I just don't see the problem with selling and licensing closed developed software or giving away software for free that has been developed in a free open way. Does it have to be one or the other? I think the great thing about maemo is that instead of forcing a single solution on everyone there might actually be a way to keep as many people as possible content and able to operate in their comfort zones and that includes small one person developers porting apps, to mega corporations like EA developing open GL ES 2.0 games with million dollar budgets.
