The Jolla project took a direction I did not like and after speaking with one of the heads of the project and asking him about the position the team would take if certain powers were to request certain "features" be placed into the system (I am a security consultant and generally very fond of personal liberties and privacy - this is my main motivation for open source) I was less than thrilled with his response. That coupled with other directions the project has taken stifled my interest. I have similar concerns with Canonical's ventures.
