Nokia's request to TI was for them to release a set of drivers for the community not for Nokia. So, no, Nokia isn't really involved in the drivers beyond having gotten TI to release them.

So was it a successful request?

And also, with Stskeeps now on Nokia's payroll with responsibility for OS like Mer - and being the lead developer on Mer I think the line between if it's released for the community or for Nokia iks blurred.

No. I'm not a Nokia employee. Technically, I'm on my own company's payroll and my role is maemo.org distmaster. Mer's released based on same principles it's always been - for community by community. Mer's part of community, OpenGLES drivers are released for community and this request has existed even from before Mer.

I thought there were a post by you about you being p/t employed at 20hrs/week.
Maybe I mis-read.

I disagree, I believe it would. Not a point important enough to argue though.

You're right. And you don't want to get into an argument with a lawyer.

Playing with earlier versions of Mer (I can't get 17 testing2 to do anything for me) & installing Ubuntu programs reminded me of Easy Debian. You really want the fullscreen button to work, but no dice. One option is presumably to have an app that toggles it to/from F11 (a commonly-used fullscreen shortcut). But in general I see a large amount of promise here & I'm really excited about it!
