I don't pretend starting ( one time more ) a discussion about the binaries/ open source.
But my question comes from the part of the kernel drivers ( now is clearly). Anyway the arguments about "Nokia thinks/ Nokia feels ashamed". Come on, if the idea here is to do an open source project we should turn off the Microsoft arguments. Hopefully the things look like everything is going to be open source (except special cases). Cheers, Adrian.
