Apple flying blind. They are doing a Nokia in the coming years.

but yes. They should upload sailfish silica UI to github too...

I also don't is a fan of ubuntu BUT normal users knows best about Ubuntu and it is the easiest dist for endusers.
I personally has tried both opensuse and fedora but always comes back to kubuntu because of the driver issues and similar.
However I would choose Redhat or debian as server etc... But thats a different story.
Btw. There is a bussiness reason for Intel to prefer Wayland. It simply because most maintainers are payed by Intel probadly most stable drivers is Intel GFX.

If they don't find anyone to license it to they might find themselves in a position where they have no choice but release it fully open

Maybe just FOSS all the way the lower parts of OS, but Window manager (launcher), ACL and few essential apps then could (should) be bought from Jolla. At least in the start there wouldn't be FOSS alternatives for those and if Jolla has made them well, why not pay for them.
http://blog.gsmarena.com/jolla-annou...roid-apps-too/
It’s also not clear if Jolla will be offering Sailfish to makers only or if users will get to flash their Android devices too, a la CyanogenMod. (or Replicant)
The things I am missing in SGS3, SGS4, Note3, other_top_android_phones_and_tablets; is mainline Linux, POSIX/GNU software libraries and X/Wayland. Jolla's first device fails elsewhere but would have those in Sailfish.
So I could pay for an option to have Sailfish, Silica UI, ACL and the basic GUI system apps to be myself flashed to a Note3. But then again, with 3 GB RAM in Note3, I could just have Fedora LXDE installed with chroot.

At no point have they suggested they'd license to end-users for Android devices, the media simply latched onto that because of it's misunderstanding of libhybris.
They've always made it clear that's definitely NOT what they're doing, but, things may change, who knows...

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
