I had a look at your site - very interesting. Global Alliance on Open Source Software Group info: Members: 1 Activity: Low activity What kind of an alliance is this? Just asking. -- My dear friend. Thank you for visiting this place. Alliance is a form of collateral agreement. It may take some time to arrange and ink one. As you can see there are 32 members at Nokia Internet Tablet http://groups.google.com/group/nokia-internet-tablet?hl=en and 2 at iPhone http://groups.google.com/group/iPhone4u?hl=en But don't ask me to tell you the number of lurkers at iPhone. > Working for Nokia Corporation on corporate products is really great think. > But please aware, any software code is still copyrighted to its author > not Nokia > and today and forever. For Nokia employees this is not an issue, it is very clear that Nokia owns copyright. -- Copyrights to what ? For volunteers this is also not an option, since Nokia does not ask for any copyright assignment, and the licence on maemo software is clear. -- my dear friend, there is nothing clear in copyrights. Frankly speaking I was not aware maemo related software has any special copyrights status. > But please don't advice Nokia to incorporate third party copyrighted > Linux code into one of its product without such writtenm contract or > agreement on transfer of intellectual property rights. Just wondering - you do understand the consequences of the GPL and LGPL, don't you? - Contacted recently Free Software Foundation to discuss the issue of hardware locked Linux embedded devices. Nobody can fully understand any consequences in comming years of the global competition between corporations. > Nokia should incorporate Maemo.org as a business entity, corporation > and nominate directors, board, officers > and have job done under supervision and management provided by Nokia. That would be a great way to kill the community.
