There’s no reason to believe that’s not true, even though the original source is behind a paywall which makes confirmation harder.
Anything can happen in that situation. The company can be saved but the product offerings can be better or worse for us who just want to use Sailfish on our phones, or maybe the company can’t be saved etc.
One has to think if a major restructuring of the company, or something else that would suck, could lead to opening all the stack to the community. Maybe that could be beneficial for ports, but it could also mean Sailfish died with the last release. Who knows.
That should not prevent someone able to contribute to a port from contributing - the tech is not dead yet!
