Dave,

I understand this GNU rational for the phone. But I would suggest OpenMoko
to take a more welcoming approach like Ubuntu do. If we have an apt-get like
application management system, we may have OpenMoko a FOSS default install
while allowing users to install proprietary software through 3rd party
respo.

P.S. May I ask one thing: Does application runs on i386 runs on OpenMoko
with the same binary?
