| where GNU/Linux was already making significant strides as its being used on
| such popular mobile devices as is Nokia Nseries. Not long after buying
| Trolltech, along with their Qtopia platform which they promised to keep as
| freedomware, Nokia is buying Symbian and, best of all, releasing it as
| freedomware via the Symbian Foundation under support of numerous mobile
| related businesses such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Samsung, Texas
| Instruments and many others.
