    I’d like to get on board but until jolla/sailfish has a free (as in beer) community version that I can put on my cheap phone, I really don’t care a bit for it. available for some xperia models and in a limited version, I mean come on. let it loose and reap the fruits of enthusiastic and unpaid volunteer work, what’s the holdup?

      But why only as beer? Doesn’t it seem like a repetition of the Android fiasco if it’s not fully open source?

        that’s kinda implied, without that premise it shouldn’t even be considered. i’m just saying that this hurdle in the form of a paid licence for just taking a look at the thing is terminally off-putting.
