Is this a landmark change? What are the repercussions on the longterm for Jolla?

No.
Basically zero.
The article does attempt to explain that.

Its a change in attitude, thats for sure. How will it affect the rest? Remains to be seen. Will they make it paywalled? Might be the next step.

Jolla on the -not so long- future should get to develop their own device that will be able to run on a vanilla kernel and SFOS on top of it. (doesn’t matter if the chipset will be old)

This changes nothing for AOSP releases.

I know. But don’t tell me that the current situation isn’t problematic as fuck (ie xperia 10v).
It needs to change IMO. The faster the better.

Sure; but that has basically nothing to do with the topic of this thread. That discussion doesn’t need to get inserted to any more threads than are derailed by it currently.

I hear you. But i am a bit frustrated with the whole situation.

We all are and we all should push for a better solution while we have the energy, a dead forum where some corp decision way above our heads killed the product we love is a possible ending noone should accept, so a bit of spam in unrelated topics is a price I’m willing to pay, flag me

I suspect this change has little effect, as it appears Sony doesn’t have the AOSP release until well after the commercial phone release.
The company is streamlining development on the platform to help free up resources for artificial intelligence.
Which might be good for us. Less Android development, means less change. It’s doubtful that any of teh changes benefit SFOS at all, they simply delay Sony’s AOSP release, and make more breaking changes for Jolla to fix.
Overall, it looks like just another little Google move that makes any AOSP based competitor a little later and a little more buggy. The best way to be anti-competitive is many little paper cuts that add up, but each can never be “illegal”.

The problem is that we base OS function -part of it at least- to whatever a big corp does. They can change everything whenever they want.
