Well, after more reading in the Jolla Blog James confirmed that Sailfish OS will not be downloaded for free, now the question is how much will be cost? 🤔https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4b6225e484.jpg

I'm willing to pay for the premium for OS that is so optimized and required much less hardware resource to run smoothly on non-high-end device as long as user experience is good. But too bad that in reality most of the people would compare the hardware spec when it comes to price.

I wonder if every image will be the same (generic) or will be individually watermarked.
If latter, than it would be worse than android. Every device will be tied not only to your phone, but to your credit card number and name + address. And Jolla will keep this info somewhere. And it could be hacked or stolen.

In my opinion this is the best news in a long time. I've been worried that they would have been forced to close the business several times.
My Jolla 1 is getting worse to use, screen is failing. I'm going to get an Xperia X. Happiness

BTW why you don't want different per-user images:
- you need to store or generate sizeable per user image vs just storing a single generic image per device
- harder to verify you image is not corrupt or maliciously modified, as you would need to provide & check checksums per user
- all the privacy implications of tying personal details and device information together by the per-user image

I know it's terribly off-topic, but what would happen if Jolla decides to officially support an existing port, say, the one to OPX? Would they be in breach of any law?

I dont think they do so using AOSP sources.
But,
Google have some requirements that must br met for example Android logo in a specific position.
I am, still, wondering about other propriatary stuff. For example WiFi binary blobs, Qualcomm blobs, modem abd bootloaders.
I hope not, but manufacturers are paying quite big licensing fees to Qualcomm.
