About Symbian Foundation
The Symbian Foundation was established by industry-leading mobile device manufacturers. It provides, manages and unifies the Symbian platform for download and development. The platform code is now available to all for free, under the Eclipse Public License, meaning that any individual or organization can take, use and modify the code for any purpose, whether that be for a mobile device or for something else entirely.
The availability of the Symbian platform source, four months ahead of schedule, will foster innovation, increase code and feature contribution, and encourage community engagement. Anyone can now influence the future of mobile.
