I agree. But Jolla didn't really make it a secret, that they follow closed development before the first release. The hope was that they'll switch to open development after the release. So we'll have to wait and see if that will come to reality.

Firefox OS, Plasma Active and Nemo Mobile really have open development. Unfortunately Sailfish didn't follow that idea, yet.
