Hmmm, don't know any details in this area, so just checking... In MeeGo the Sensor Framework itself must be _generic_ and fully open source I believe. Sensor HW adaptation (including adaptor plugins in the Sensor Framework), however, can contain proprietary stuff. So is there some refactoring needed here?
