(from tjc): i.e. why doesn't Jolla encourage 'chinese factory' to build more Tablets (and act as reseller in Europa). Jolla can give them a SailfishOS version without license protected Software (like Alien Dalvik and Here). stephg , 13:45:52)

(from tjc) Benefits of this include - more developers will make native apps for SailfishOS (to fill the Jolla and openprepo app store). Builds the developer base, popularises SailfishOS and benefits everyone! stephg , 13:46:10)

this is the first onewhen it comes to commercial players like the chinese ODM, we need to come up with acceptable terms and in this case our priorities have been in getting a closure for the tablet preorders and for the actual licensees stephg , 13:50:30)
