"That is why I filed the bug and see Quim Gil answered. Not a bad result I think: Thank you for this very well formulated request. It will take some time to satisfy it and it migjht even happen in a way that doesn't totally fulfill this request. But let's agree on a couple of principles: - Users should be able to install their customized maemo-based variants and even other distros in the Nokia Internet Tablets. - Hardware manufacturers should be able to deploy maemo-based variants in their devices. These are not priorities for us now. We want to keep focusing in maemo and the IT OS running like a charm in the Nokia Internet Tablets. But we do want to remove the obstacles depending on us that make the scenarios above unfeasible. Releasing the mentioned components under a free software license would be indeed a solution, but it might be pretty complicated and near to impossible to provide this for all components in the short term. We will go piece by piece trying to find the best solution in each case, surely with a high dose of pragmatism. Please be patient. To start with, July is around the corner. This means massive holidays in Finland, comprising many of the people with capacity of decision about the issues and software discussed here. We will make some little steps in July and them we will start the internal work more seriously in August. I can't promise any results, nor any deadline, but I'm picking this enhancement request and I will push it forward (I had to do it anyway but you have provided a very good starting point)." And they are even going to fix 1585 (= allow anonymous access for reading bugzilla entries). :) Regards Robert
