@jaymanu: I originally intended to reply to @stefanhgm, but I think you’re both asking about different aspects of the same basic question:
Will there be access (free or otherwise) to licensed components in Sailfish.
Maybe this is something that @Douwe can shed some light on.
@stefanhgm I got the impression that you are talking about the Fairphone team, when you say “you”. The Fairphone Forum is mainly a community forum, where we, as the community, can discuss. Official responses from Fairphone employees are very rare and you cannot expect someone from the Fairphone team to answer your questions here on the forum.
As @Johannes suggested, you should contact Fairphone support to receive an official answer.
I may be on the wrong lead here, but my interpretation of the quoted discussion is that it is about if Jolla would make the Sailfish OS for the FP2 an official port.
For now, Sailfish is “only” a community port! To my understanding, making it an official Jolla port would be necessary to solve some license issues in order to be able to ship Sailfish with Alien Dalvik (which allows to run Android Apps on Sailfish). To my knowledge there has been a discussion (can’t find the link now) that Sailfish could become such an official port for FP2 (but with official meaning the Jolla side).
But I didn’t follow everything closely, that is my understanding of the current situation - which lead to my above mentioned interpretation.
Yes, this is the case.
We hope to be able to have SailfishOS one day as one of the official OS’s for Fairphone 2. And we are working towards that goal. But we can not yet guarantee we will be able to make it happen. Especially the license part needs to be resolved.
Great to have your reply here @Douwe, thanks! I joined this forum a while ago to follow your great community activity and maybe help in Sailfish OS related questions. To those by @jaymanu :
Do you mean this OS is commercial and must be bought ?
Part of the features in Sailfish OS are commercial, requiring a license. Sailfish OS for Fairphone 2 has been so far distributed as an unofficial community port, lacking these commercial parts:
I was only very basically wondering if you can get SailFish for free, or if you need to pay to get it.
Or do you need to pay for some optional components like apk compatiblity ?
The community port is free (guide to install here), but the commercial parts needs to be separately licensed. Whether this will be the case, I guess the interest in both of our communities plays an important role too. Maybe share the knowledge to help to reach that goal

I just run in to that…
I am really curious about this part:
Dr. Saarnio comments: “We are soon announcing the program officially, but what I can say already now is that it will include a special device related treat for our fans. I personally can’t wait to announce it! Our team is tweaking the offering now –look out for the announcement in a few weeks.”
Let’s see what it means 
I changed the name of this topic as it’s not about how you can flash Sailfish OS.
That was Jolla C.
LVPVS out.
Yeah, it was Jolla C, not Fairphone or even Turing phone.
Are there any news regarding official SFOS port? Any status update? Please? 
There is a poll on Twitter:
I don’t use Twitter but you can count 1 more willing to buy a Fairephone with SFOS.
I also do not use twitter (or Facebook), so why do Fairphone do not also ask here at there forum?
I have a Fairphone2 (bought it as it rumors SailfishOS will be ported).
So i do not buy a second one, but i will pay for the support and the licence.
Here at the jolla blog there is some information about SailfishOS support for Fairphone2.
Listen to the video of the keynote ;-).
I would also buy one straightaway. No Twitter or Facebook, so I hope the Fairphone team will see this post
Hello,
a few days ago i ask at the fairphone support about the title question.
Now i got the following answer :-(.
Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to provide support for the community built version of Sailfish for the FP2.
If we would do an official release with Jolla at some point, then of course we could provide the support that goes with it !
But there is no such plan yet.
I know, that low level changes on the android base will have an impact to the on top running SailfishOS.
Mal told me that the next community release require the fairphone android version 1.4.2.
So without support from fairphone side an official support from jolla will be very complicated.
I hope fairphone and jolla are still in connection about that.
Come on, Fairphone! We need an official version!
yes we need, the comunity version work well (thank mal) but we need the proprietary part.
Or juste say “never” but no “maybe”.
maybe 
But really; it still is maybe… we’re working on it.
And as it is with work in progress: we might succeed, we might fail.
So a definitive yes or a definitive no have an equal change to become a lie in the future.
