Symbian source code is available under a variety of open source licences.

The majority of our source code and tools code is available under the Eclipse Public Licence (EPL). A few components are under other, similar, open source licenses.

Some tools code is currently under the Symbian Foundation Licence and is not yet publicly available. It is accessible only to institutions that become members of the Symbian Foundation and agree to the terms of the Symbian Foundation License (SFL).

All code under licences other than the SFL is publicly available.

Why haven't you made everything public?

Most of our code and tools code was originally contributed under the SFL. On 4th February 2010 we made all of our source code open source, however some tools code was not ready.

We promised to make all of our code available under the EPL by mid 2010. We made our source code available as soon as possible and hope to complete the full process ahead of schedule. We'll continue to publish information on Platform Completeness.
