No Shock Verizon Wireless Chose LiMo Over Android
Filed in archive Operators by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on May 16, 2008
- The only thing open about LiMo is that it runs on Linux and that the APIs are relatively open, but the APIs only allow very limited functionality.
- A fee of $400,000 a year is required to be able to contribute source code to the project.
- You can only use commercially-friendly Open-Source licenses in your code.
Sounds a bit like what people thought about Verizon Wireless: they say they want to be open, but really, they're not going to open up. This surprise any one?
