Has a single thing been opened via it's placement in the licensing change requests queue? If so, what?

Was the twitter app on the licensing charge requests queue? I didn't see it.

No (well, it couldn't be since it didn't exist), but the sharing framework is.

But not yet opened, AFAICT.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply it was. On the plus side, at least it can now be used without jumping through hoops and resorting to hacks like this.

Can someone shed some light on the efford, necessary for opening
UI related components?
For example, if nokia wants to open the media player or the calendar or the
call-ui. What are the steps involved?

regards
Nicolai

So, in sum, Nokia created a ruse of the "open source licensing queue". People spent good hours wasting their time jumping through nokia hoops (not just in this), and in the end:

* NOKIA OPENED NOTHING IN THE QUEUE *

Not a *single* thing.

Nah, I think I could've sworn I've read of one or two things that DID get relicensed... Small, background things, that we as end users don't really see.

That said, they relicensed far far less things than they should have, but that's inherently likely in an overly bureaucratic system. I respect them for the initial effort, am definitely extremely unhappy with the shitty follow-through.

Nokia seems to have this power to provide good phones while simultaneously poisoning the loyalty of niche users like ourselves. Which is fine in the short run because they still have other user demographics, but does undermine their wellbeing long-term. Eh, I'm rambling now.

Well, I'm not a typical end user and I've been watching this (fail) all along and haven't seen a single thing opened via this process. If you have anything solid you can point to, I'd love to see it.

I think it's closing in on 3 years now since the flasher was going to be opened.

Ya, that's the sad part, it seems their higher-level view of having an open OS is good, but their execution is seriously lacking.
