Can this really be true? Am I alone in thinking this is NOT good news, case of selling out to the devil IMHO.

I concur. If russia licenses Sailfish from Jolla, they can tweak the evel details if tbey want to. It does not mean that those same details will show up in devices sold by Jolla. I do not mean that Russia would actually make any nasty modifications to their version of Sailfish, it it just something some people are afraid of.
You can compare this situation to that of android. There is the 'standard' version(s) of Sailfish from Jolla, (like vanilla Android from Google) and other licensees can tweak it to suit their equipment within the agreed upon boundaries (like other manufacturers are doing to theirs Android devices).

Maybe you don't think through, but this is racist. if you think Russia is evil,

Or they would use Jolla branded devices and this case Jolla would not release source as it would be related to 3rd parties making the phones (at least that's why jolla do not give us flashable images)

lol, cooperation with any 3rd party partner is risky, why you think russian companies would include backdoors and trojans in system and others wont? don't be silly. anyway if any partner would want to do so jolla should restrict this activities. also in my vision russian aim is to get "sailfish secure" operating system to develop new devices for it, as some russian companies wanted to do it in past, but always based on android, but now they will have option to do secure operating system based on good android alternative os. peace.

Im pretty sure russia will include beneficial code if possibe, like the rest of the agressive countries(basically all big counties). would be good if the small countries decided and the big ones executed and paid. 
russian dont doing anything for free plus not sure if this is real or just words. One thing is fishy. why no word from jolla?
anyways. I hope this mean somthing good for the growths of sail.
source?
