@purrperl@noc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org Jolla does have some proprietary code, namely parts of the UI, their Android VM solution and some MS Exchange addon.
Lately they've been open sourcing more and more parts, so the UI might be fully open source one day.

@chrastecky@phpc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org Hopefully, they won't go the way of many other projects with good intentions, which they abandoned on the way, taking without giving back, and effectively becoming yet another closed system, chasing money. examples: macOS, Ubuntu, ChromeOS, Android etc. ALMOST free. Free any day now. Free, except. If you can't tweak any part of the OS, if you can't recompile your OS from scratch and run a custom copy, then it's not really free. Hopefully, SailfishOS does better.
