While Nokia invested a lot in letting Symbian go open source under the Symbian Foundation, it seems the giant has changed it’s plans now it bought Symbian back. From now on, clients have to pay again.
Nokia will only share the source of Symbian with it’s business partners under the Nokia Symbian License 1.0. At the moment, only Sharp and Fujitsu seem to really be selling Symbian based devices in Asian markets. There are others that have applied, but no news on those.
