I don't agree at all, Sailfish should've been opened-up ages ago, or shortly after the 1st phone is released at the absolute latest.
It makes more sense that both projects are merged & have essentially the same code-base....
Jolla can still keep it's originally touted "commercial" flavour of Sailfish, a version that has mostly closed apps (including some closed ones from 3rd-parties).
But the rest should be left for a totally open flavour of Sailfish, one that's administered exactly like Nemo has been for ages now.
Or the code should be handed over to the Nemo project, & mostly/totally supplant the current Nemo code...
Which will (predictably) turn into a political ****-storm, and it never had to, if only they'd pulled their head out of their arse earlier.
