Yes it’s my intention to use an opensource OS on the FP2. It’s not 100% sure yet that this will be possible, but at least the Fairphone team is committed to such an option. At least it’s the next step on the Roadmap to release the necessary source code. Quoting the key objectives from there:
- Use the Fairphone hardware as an open platform and give developers the tools to own and create software for the Fairphone 2
- Empower alternative operating system organizations that match our open standards
I’m quite optimistic that they learned from their bad experiences with Mediatek in this regard and will be able to reach their goal with the FP2.
Right now the most pragmatic solution for me would be an AOSP distribution like Replicant with F-Droid as appstore.
