Sailfish in America

[fridlmue]

Some speculations can be found e.g. here:

Catharsis - Unable to buy license

I just don’t understand the business model of Jolla. I was going to buy a Sony Xperia 10 ii and after that the Sailfish OS license for it and… surprise: You cannot buy licenses if you are outside EU, Norway and Switzerland. Good thing that I paid attention and went to the Jolla store before buying the phone. Now, I just can’t understand why aren’t they selling licenses outside those zones. I mean, I could understand if you tell me that there is hardware involved (as there would be Logistics)…

Xperia 10 II + SFOS

AFAIK the problem with US is software patents. And I have no clue if this is a problem in the UK as well or if it could be in the foreseeable future. I think (and don’t know) this could be the doubts, why it is sold only in EEA, where Jolla is sure that this stuff is not a problem.

Sailfish in the USA

Hello! I’ve created this topic as a way to track information regarding the state of Sailfish OS in the United States. The current area of concern is VoLTE - please see the below post for information. In addition, a historical pain point has been group MMS. I am yet to find a good solution for this. Help wanted! If you have any input on this topic, please let me know!
