She hesitated giving details about Harmattan content at that time. This is why Peter helped giving the answer. Of course Elena was aware about the implications of GPLv3, just like any Linux security expert is.

If you have questions about MeeGo licensing, security framework, etc meego-dev is the place to ask. In fact there was already something about GPLv3 some weeks ago.

For the rest, let me just insist that the security framework itself is not limiting, but the configuration each device vendor applies on it. If you don't like how open MeeGo device A is then go for MeeGo device B. If the problem is about app store A only delivering software for closed devices then choose another alternative.

I'm not concerned. On the contrary, I think MeeGo pushes openness to the mobile industry and mainstream like no platform has done before. (I should be a person to be concerned about MeeGo openness since my paid job is quite related to it)
