This has been caught by a slashdotter too and the comments we're on the very same tone. I think that what Ari wanted too say is that Nokia and the industry in general is not YET ready to work the way the open source community wants them to. This is understandable. Their point is to make money and they were just doing this. Recently, we, the open source community, showed them that there is some business in our words. And you know, industry has been always as slow in reacting to this matter as fast in reacting to money. I read his wording this way: "we want to listen and we are listening and actually even doing steps towards those open source rules. But the community asks too much and too fast. We listen and act. You do the same." It's fair. -- Aniello On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 6:49 PM, tanguyr <tanguyr@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > source: > http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/jun2008/gb20080612_288518.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_global+business > > the killer quote: > >> >> Jaaksi admitted that concepts like these [DRM, intellectual property >> rights, SIM locks and subsidised business models]"go against the open-source >> philosophy", but said they were necessary components of the current mobile >> industry.
