Stop acting like it's the end of the world. Buy a EU prepaid card and buy SFOS with it, stating your country as EU. Easy.

It sounds like Sony can't decide if they really want you to flash your phone. You need initial firmware in order to utilize proprietary features and if you dare to unlock your bootloader a warning will get displayed every time your phone boots eventrough Sailfish X is shared collaboration between Jolla and Sony which might mean Sony don't view SailfishOS as malware.
can't you do something like
Code:
fastboot flash logo SOMETHING.bin

There have been some people looking at this over at XDA, but so far it’s not possible to remove this warning screen.

If Jolla wants to keep developing SailfishOS as a distribution which shares many libraries and software tools with a desktop based Linux distribution they need to accept GPLv3 as they can't go on with old versions of gnu tools such as the gcc compiler or qt 5.6 forever nor can the maintain a fork of these tools for years to come.
I don't want Jolla to be the new Nokia.
So in fact you would like Jolla to be like the New Nokia...

Here is a quote of one of the replies:
You share your kernel mods because you're legally bind to. What's the point of them if the "open source community" you ment can't use them?
Sorry, you may now return to your normal Sailfish on Xperia discussion.

I am currently living in Canada (and also have US paypal and bank accounts), however, my permanent residency is in the Czech Republic (EU). I am happy to assist anyone from US/Canada who would like to buy Sailfish X. Feel free to PM me for details.
PS: It could be that there are some 'hidden' legislation-related reasons why Jolla doesn't want to sell an OS in the region. Maybe, in order to be officially allowed to do so, you need to be co-operative with some of the three-letter organizations... I do not have any information and evidence for this so don't quote me here, I'm simply trying to come up with a plausible story that sort of makes sense. Also, we should keep in mind that Sailfish X is supposed to be (at least for now) a community project. And I bet Jolla does know us - their community - and they are definitely aware there will be many Europeans who will offer assistance to many from the US (hidden pun^TM). But do you really expect them to officially write sthing like "If we wanna sell a phone OS in the US, we need to have a backdoor for organization XYZ. So we won't do that, and you guys from the US just email your mates in EU and do what needs to be done" ? I doubt. So let's wait what will be the exact conditions, but I would be surprised if they will pro-actively fight against this gray-area of software smuggling (who would believe that there is gonna be such a thing as smuggling software). Also, we should not expect them to publicly write "guys, guys, calm down, the system is designed to be hacked"
