They can't just dump closed source and call it open. First they'd have to check they aren't using someone else's patents or licenced code. I imagine there's a whole bunch of other compliance and legal ****.

They'd also have to be pretty confident in their ability to keep their hardware designs ahead of their competition to spend millions on software that others can use for free because you just know their chips will be cloned in no time at all and sold for less with their free software.

No, not yet. But jolla is working on something. Could be Oysters. It would make sense to wait until the have figured out the second part of the refund and then announce since more money would stay in the compony as well as the get a few more devices in market.

Winter is coming. Christmas is coming. Refund and new jolla hardware would be perfect around December 11!

I would name it R2-D2(Refund 2 + Device 2)
Brilliant, right

Or Santa One...

But isn't it a bit shellfish to refuse giving any news or updates?

Speaking of clamav, I installed Linux on someone's computer a couple of years ago because they had totally broken it with malware. I installed it as a dual boot and tried scanning using clamav from the Linux partition to see if there was anything I could do, then gave up. They have been using kubuntu 13.04 ever since.

Anyway, they brought it back to me this week because they couldn't log in. The cause was the freshclam log hadn't been rotating properly and freshclam had freaked out about not being able to contact the server with the virus definition updates, and filled the entire HDD with log messages. A 120GB plain text file!! Absolutely outrageous.

Arrgh, thanks for reminding me!

I was tracking a rogue DHCP server in a lab network segment last week and I left a tcpdump session running on a console...
Now that I checked it the log has grown to 26GB already.

Mediatek.... MTK....
It would be nice if we get their source because of that. MTK SoCs are the worst in that area.
