Re: Jolla enthusiasm Dave999 got banned by Jolla

While I don't know where (TJC? Blog? Facebook? ...) and why and if at all, it would be good news if true. They have a responsibility not only to protect their community, but to keep their sites clean...

Re: [ALERT] Sailfish license can't be transfered!!!

That's being discussed on TJC, too, at the moment. AFAIK the court rulings are only vaild in cases in which the software hasnt been installed before ("surplus licenses").

Re: MWC2018 news

It's secure from their partners' point of view. Just as it's 'full open source' only from their partners' point of view.

Re: SailfishOS on Nokia 3310 (2017)

Is it? I didn't do any scientific comparison of course, but I had used my XperiaX with Android a few weeks before SailfishX became available. I remember I felt Sailfish was smoother than Android on...

Re: SailfishOS on Nokia 3310 (2017)

Actually... does it really matter much which brand it is? Isn't it more exciting how they managed to make a UI designed for touch screens work on such a device?

Also, I'd be very interested to...

Re: Jolla - alike, or how Jolla adopted the Google's anti-open-source practices.

It just so happens that their agenda is pretty close to my personal needs. And that's what it's all about, right? Everybody should choose what suits him best. For my brother, that's the iPhone...

Re: Jolla - alike, or how Jolla adopted the Google's anti-open-source practices.

You have either not read or not understood the article the OP linked to in the first post.

Also, what software you use on Sailfish is pretty much up to you.

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices

I looked for the exact link but didn't find it, but IIRC James commented on blog.jolla.com that it's most likely we'll have to wait until 2018.

It's very unlikely, but just as a reminder: In 2014 they released Vaarainjärvi on Dec 18th. So... never say never. :)

Re: New: Jolla/Sailfish in Latin America

Would make sense to have a ref design close to the Xperia X... This way, the whole work on the Xperia port would also serve a commercial purpose.

I share your concerns about SailfishOS as a whole not being redistributable.

Where did you get that from? Any secret sources? (It might have been of course, but that's either some secret information from Jolla - or speculation.)
