Symbian Comes out of the Closet

,----[ Quote ]
| According to FSF,  the Eclipse Licence makes 
| this free software but  incompatible with the 
| GPL. Still, this is a good, competitive move 
| to promote competition rather than to kill 
| competition as M$ always tries. One thing is 
| sure. This move will make the smartphone 
| software environment much more interesting, 
| vibrant and full of choice.
