Et af klagepunkterne ved Jollas telefon og ikke mindst SailfishOS har været at de medfølgende basale programmer ikke har været frie.

Dette er Jolla ganske langsomt ved at forsøge at gøre noget ved. De har netop frigivet deres Gecko-baserede hjemmesidelæser Sailfish Browser på den fri kildekodes oprørte vande.

[SailfishDevel] Sailfish Browser is now open source!

Hi all,

We finally got all the preparations done and today is the day.
Sailfish Browser is Jolla’s first fully open source application! The
public repository is here: https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser

We intend to work as open as possible and hope to gain contributors
and a better chance of getting our embedding accepted to Mozilla upstream.

Future contributions, both internal and external should go to the
public repository. I hope that we will get a public bugzilla for this
project at some point, but at the moment externally we will use Github’s
issue tracker.

A more in depth description of the technology powering the browser can
be found at http://blog.idempotent.info/posts/whats-behind-sailfish-browser.html.

On behalf of Jolla’s browser team I thank you all for being an awesome
community and we are very much looking forward to building a great
browser together!
