Of course the comparison isn't exact - I never even said that.

The point I was making was that Cyanogen and Jolla are similar in the respect that they have the same amount of people working on the project and they're both building upon previous efforts. The difference is that Cyanogen have 90k contributors to their project. Outside of Jolla staff, no one contributes to Sailfish (yes I know you can contribute to Mer - but I cannot easily put Mer on my Android device).

Clearly, Cyanogen are doing something right and Jolla are not.
