Benson, you poor fool. I'm not worried that someone takes open-source and makes a closed-source derivative in this particular case, especially since that would imply that there IS an open-source base they forked off of. No. I worry because there is open and free source like GPL, and then there's open but a little less freer CDDL, for example. It might be handy to know how tight the chains are held on their proprietary or not-so-proprietary code. We saw how wonderfully CDDL worked for the ZFS and the related lawsuits. I don't see how simply being OSD-compliant should be enough for me to prostrate myself at the alter of open-source software, especially with the likes of even Microsoft, Oracle and others buzzing around trying to find ways to cleverly call something open while slipping in a poison pill if you do your own thing in the open. Quite the opposite from the assumption you posed, in fact. :P With Nokia's track record so far and now with their new Microsoft marriage, I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that. I admit that it would be better than fully closed-source, but it's not much better.

Ah good. So at least ofono is GPLv2. I'd be paranoid about using something with an unclear license like FSO, then.

Indeed! I'm glad you decided to participate in the conversation instead of trying to deflect it elsewhere so it wouldn't be a talking point. Right?

Hey! Look at that! I guess my asking DID bring about some productive results--you learned something too, Benson. Hey! Everybody wins when questions are asked!
