Dude, you started by saying MeeGo wasn't open, I answered. I even pointed this fact out in my own post.

You can't expect your baseless claims to be unanswered :)

What you do not realise is i have made good use of your posts to prove some points here.

Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.

Now please allow topic discussion to take place and get back on topic thankyou.

The count now stands at 559 for and 22 against and i would say up to now that is overwhelming odds for Maemo to be further developed.

Thankyou to the Community and please keep the votes coming in.

Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.

So, this is my last post in this thread as it has turned ridicolous by now.

I'll just summarize what has happened so far:
* abill_uk has hinted people to break the law and their contracts to publish code (which was the straw for me).
* Several arguments for why this cannot work has been made.
* There is no way that the full source code of Maemo5 can be published. Especially because of 3rd party IPR - think Flash, Skype, SGX drivers, etc. This makes the petition useless and it will not help anything.
* There has been (also in the past) statements that applications are not going to be open sourced.

momcilo, if you have specific questions about components and licensing, I'd like to take that in another thread. But please do your homework on how open source licensing works as I think you have misconceptions.

freemangordon, I'd like to help you with your fbdev problem, so feel free to poke me on #meego-arm IRC.

Also please keep up the work on MeeGo adaption for the N900 and i promise you that if it even gets to the point it is a fully programmable os taking over the Maemo os you will have my 100% backing !.
Right now it is not a lot at all and from a developers eyes looking in a little dissapointing so i want you to prove me wrong and get MeeGo up and running as fast as you can, i wish you all the luck in gaining dev's for your project but right now as it stands there is nothing to even touch the Maemo os for the N900.

Maemo stands firm in this community as it is after all Maemo.org and the reason for this Poll.

Are you stupid?

haha do you even have to ask - you put up the petition after all :)

I am surprised you are still arguing with this "software engineer" who has been through it all.

While I do not advocate a ban, I do advocate taking his "peak of stupid" posts and stickying it on top of this forum.

Provides a bit of levity to a generally down atmosphere.

The "official route" should have been Maemo JOINING with MeeGo and not a conflict situation that is going on now.

Yes he's so used to coding that he can't use English properly, some would even say he has reverted to childlike levels of grammar and spelling. Not to imply that he is, in fact, not a software engineer but just a kid.

That's impossible, how hard is that to understand? There is no conflict. We have a dead OS and we have a new OS.

Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt as english is a second language to most ppl - and plenty of non english speakers can code just fine :)

His chain of logic is just.... well... i am speechless. I think I will have to go to urban dictionary to find some new adjectives.

Seriously - he claims to have been through IP battles in court over reverse engineering issues. With his logic I think he got bulldozed by a lawyer in open court.

Sorry, asking someone else to break the law on an open forum for his sake when he is constantly putting down that person....

hahahhahahha
