I doubt they would agree. Even if they did, there would be the usual problem with big companies: the left hand does not know what the right does.<p/>I understand there was no money involved, but hey, Nokia has the right to decide in which ways to get involved with Gnome and in which ways not to - isn't Gnome about freedom, after all ? :)<p/>This whole thing sounds like a storm in a teacup if you ask me.

In Spain i was able to buy Nokia 770 at shop, in Chile i can't!. Yes, you are right too, and following your line, i’ve the right to comment it!, if there are right for everything.

I am in Boston right now, and I cannot buy a 770 in any store I know of. I see how in some big telephony markets in Europe it could be sold as a cool gizmo tho (it is not all that useful *yet* if you ask me ;-).<p/>Concerning OSS markets, well, some people would question the existence of OSS markets in the first place - look a the leader of the pack, RHAT is barely making $300M/year, that is small potatoes compared to even relatively small proprietary software companies. What I am saying is, Microsoft can afford to chase all markets, while OSS operators cannot (yet) - but don't despair: RHAT's purchase of those two small companies in Argentina and Brazil is clearly designed to establish both Spanish and Portoughese speaking presence in the southern cone. <p/>By the way, is Chile currently a MSFT monocolture in the enterprise, just like Italy is ? haha – yes, you are free to comment ;-)

My rant is dedicated to Nokia Chile because i feel that they can do more, if they want.
