[smc-discuss] Did Symbian Foundation Mislead Us?

[Jayadevan Raja]

Hello Friends,

See what Symbian Foundation and Nokia said in 2010-02-04:
http://thehandheldblog.com/2010/02/04/huge-symbian-is-now-free-completely-open-source/
Lee Williams, executive director of the Symbian Foundation says “About a
third of the Android code base is open and nothing more, and what is open is
a collection of middleware. Everything else is closed or proprietary.
Symbian on the other hand is one hundred percent open".

See what Symbian Foundation and Nokia said in 2011-04-04:
http://www.intomobile.com/2011/04/08/nokia-says-symbian-isnt-open-source-just-open-business/
Nokia is making the Symbian platform available under an alternative, open
and direct model, to enable us to continue working with the remaining
Japanese OEMs and the relatively small community of platform development
collaborators we are already working with.

See what Android.com said in 2011-04-06:
http://www.talkandroid.com/36226-andy-rubin-we-continue-to-be-an-open-source-platform/
Andy Rubin: “We continue to be an open source platform”



So, did the symbian foundation mislead us?
