Petition to make Symbian Open Source

Quick heads up again, just catching my transport to GP:

Since Nokia cancelled all firmware updates for their Symbian phones &
Microsoft probably has no intention to keep Symbian OS, because they are concentrating on Windows Phones,

I HEREBY WOULD LIKE THE RELEASE OF SYMBIAN OS SOURCE CODES AND LATEST BUILDS TO OPEN SOURCE

FOR DEVELOPMENT FOR MILLIONS OF SYMBIAN USERS ALL OVER THE WORLD

Symbian OS still provides the base for many tens of millions of users worldwide (e.g. numbers from “Statcounter – Global Stats”). A lot of these people have trusted Nokia as their phone provider for over 20 years. Android, Symbian’s biggest competitor in mobile OS, already has open source projects and allows development and distribution all over the world, and I would like to see Symbian opened up on a similar basis, for ongoing work by professional and hobbyist programmers.

SO PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION & KEEP SYMBIAN ALIVE BEFORE IT GETS FORGOTTEN
