Jolla Brings Wayland Atop Android GPU Drivers

But what about Google? Everybody loves Google!

Or EA. Everybody hates EA.

Are you trying to tell us one of the most evil companies is better than Canonical? Stop kidding.

Companies cannot be evil. They can be profitable or not.

As far as I can tell Apple also upstreamed bugfixes from BSD and GNU components of OSX. Apple does not insist on hosting forks on their own SCM service (Launchpad in Canonical's case).

Could you please point to the section in the licence that says that? Or anywhere else that this has been established?

Learn to read to what I even replied.

Every company that sells services for a whole distribution should definitively also work on the kernel. If Canonical only did Unity and sold that for other distributions, you'd be right, but Canonical distributes Ubuntu as a whole.

Should every linux company work at the kernel? There are plenty of things left to do in userspace.

Canonical has done nothing to get rid of closed drivers.

More in the sense of... the take credit for others work. Not in a way "Oh we're distributing it" way but a "They coded it. We took it. Called it our own, claimed development of it because most people wont check the license file that marks us as liars."

Apple does not do that as far as I can tell. During Macworld 2003 Apple publicly announced that Safari is based on KHTML: http://donmelton.com/2013/01/10/safa...-to-the-world/
To this day the KHTML heritage is featured on the main page of https://www.webkit.org/ (Fun fact, btw: Google does not http://www.chromium.org/blink )

On the other hand, that was an Insult to Rocks. You'd liken Canonical to Apple, but that would even be unfair to Apple

Here is the most important question:
Wayland on top of "Android" drivers? Or on top of QUALCOMM ADRENO ANDROID drivers?

If its the general case where it will work on *any* Android GPU drivers, then it means something. If it is the specific case where it works specifically and only on qualcomm adreno drivers, then it is meaningless horse shit. Not only because it is only good for that hardware, but also because ****FREEDRENO****.

Did you read the blog post linked from the article? It's also talking about the PowerVR SGX drivers.
