Woo! Even more made up statistics!
Are you an employee of Nokia who's job it is to count lines of code?
Why don't you share the true statistics with this community?
Are you sworn to secrecy?
If you are privy to this kind of information (code), are you helping slonopotamus with his outstanding effort?

... this^ info is could have been provided by GA in support of his statement. This whole argument has munged up a very positive thread on this board.
I often think that derailing a thread is the purpose of these side discussions over the precise quanities of (insert label of extranious BS)...
I repeat...

I would say it's current, the date in the filename puts this firmly in Diablo's timeframe.
The list of packages looks like from the SDK (it includes compilers and such but not most user apps) but not quite - it does include some statusbar & control panel applets not available in scratchbox for example.
Summing up the columns shows 93 "Nokia-closed" & 2 "3rd party" out of 286 total packages, which would be at least 33% closed (some of the "OSS modified" packages, like libjpeg or libosso-gsf are also closed).

To the argument about what packages you need to make the N8x0 fully functional in terms of HW interfacing (before the Jazelle, 3d driver etc arguments appear: this is for the amount of HW support that users get when they install Diablo.)wlan-firmware (i know this is just a symlink to initfs)
bt-firmware (same)
gstreamer0.10-hantro
gpsdriver
hald-addon-bme (we have a open version of this now)
dsme (more specifically libcal, CAL access + format)
Osso-dsp-modules-rx-44 - ti
initfs (BME, wlan-cal, bt-cal, etc)
Which is 7.3% of closed source software to get the N8x0 fully functional with regards to HW interfacing - hardly 90%

gstreamer0.10-hantro is the proprietary video encoding codec. I think it might use the DSP, but I'm not sure (it's closed )
