The fact is more simple: if Nokia and Intel (a big weights in the technology market) are doing a open source project.
They have the choice now to deal with the vendors / manufactures and require open source components. This is not fiction, the largest manufacturer of mobile phones and the largest semiconductor chip maker are together doing a project and we are speaking here about that we need use closed components because some vendors are going to release these components as closed-source? Really? Can't Nokia & Intel negotiate this thing with the vendors? I can't understand what is here the concept of open source. Regards, Adrian. On 19 March 2010 19:49, M.
