"Even so, there are no closed binary OpenMoko blobs or hidden strings attached. They follow the "release early, release often" principle. They make CAD drawings of the case available under a Creative Commons license, and schematics of the guts. All source code is available and community contributions are accepted. They're working on creating a framework that supports Python-based extensions so that writing applications for the OpenMoko is as easy as writing a Web page."
