Symbian Foundation has transitioned to a licensing body In 2009 we established the Symbian Foundation to make the Symbian platform available open source and royaltyfree. In November 2010 we announced that the foundation would ramp down its operational activities as a result of changes in global economic and market conditions. We have now completed the transition from a nonprofit organisation responsible for governing the open development and curation of the Symbian platform to a licensing entity with no permanent staff. Moving forward the foundation is responsible only for specific licensing and legal frameworks put in place during the open sourcing of the platform.
