Then why was the subject brought up again? I doubt bme will ever be OSS, mce is quite the same in terms of licensing, if the "user experience layer" can't be open sourced, and the underlying components are WONTFIX'd, what use is opening bug reports about closed components?

And what if I have a media player with a killer UI, that doesn't work with the current pulseaudio (just as an example), chances are if I tamper with pulseaudio, I'll break maemo's haptic feedback, maemo's phone application, and pretty much any other apps that are closed and can't be compiled against new libs.
