I know invariably there will be some masturbatory conversation centered heavily around simpleton semantics and connotation as opposed to pure denotation... and personally I'll have very little to do with it.

In the future, MeeGo will be released. In the future, we'll know all of what Samsung will have open-sourced and what's not being open-sourced. Until it's all out on the table, it's still guess work and/or assuming that companies/people will keep their word.

I'm the type that tends to deal in absolutes. And in this case, Samsung is trying to do something that... well is a good step in the right direction. I doubt they will get it 100% right, but it's good.

MeeGo is going that fully open route where the only closed bits (this time) will be hardware specific. That's better than the 43% open percentage (paraphrasing stskeeps) for Fremantle.

People will show devotion to either platform or manufacturer. I'm just happy to actually see that "being open" is finally being embraced by companies and it's interesting to see how it will all play out. Not enough is known to say definitively one way or the other. Neither has been fully release and yet to show all of its openness yet.

There you go. It's and its used properly. I done Mama proud.
