I don't work for Trolltech nor do I want to turn this into a qtopia-interest
list, but please read a bit more carefully:
Q: What does the package contain?
A: Qtopia Open Source Edition contains everything that is in the commercial
source version, except Safe eXecution Environment (SXE) – the security
benefits of a “sandbox” on the device with the benefits of a native
application approach – digital rights management (DRM) and telephony
components.
If you want check on the exact components, see:
http://doc.trolltech.com/qtopia4.2/qtopia-components.html
The bottom line is the previous subject is completely false - please, let's
not try to diminish any other OpenSource effort by spreading FUD no matter
how much we _all_ like Openmoko, Neo1973 and the teams who made it possible.
