Packages are the fundamental building blocks of the Symbian platform. They are modular collections of components, owned and maintained by a single entity (although contributed to more widely).
Information about the Symbian Code Licenses can be found here.
Access Security package contains protocols and settings UIs for WLAN and VPN access authentication and key negotiation. The package includes Extensible Authenication Protocol (EAP) framework, a variety of specific EAP methods, IEEE 802.11i/WPA/WPA2 authentication and key management procedures, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) configuration UIs, and WFA Protected Setup (WPS) protoco... more >>
Application installation package contains components for application installation, management, and distribution.
Provides the Bluetooth prototcol stack and hardware adaptation interface as well as core Bluetooth APIs
The Board Support Packages (BSP) package provides hardware-specific support code for a hardware platform / device family. It contains all the SW components (drivers, kernel extensions, etc.) required to interface the SymbianOS to a given hardware platform. There could be many “collections” within this package each targeting different hardware. The current package cont... more >>
Provides Bluetooth middleware APIs as well as various bluetooth profile implementations
Everything you need to build the Symbian platform

Compilers, run-times and basic libaries to support tool execution and development.
The Cellular Baseband Services package offers Cellular Network and SIM services to applications and other Symbian OS clients. It is an OS layer package that abstracts cellular modems, baseband and SIM hardware provided by OEMs. The package provides a suite of services that are complete enough to validate this hardware without higher layers of the OS being present.
The Classic UI package provides native (Avkon) UI support libraries, including standard controls, views, dialogs and some services for ui application.
The package contains a plug-in framework for email protocol implementations, an email application built on the top of the framework, plug-in implementations for IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP protocols, a message store service for email messages and some services for processing messages in background and for integrating email with other applications.
Comms Framework is an OS Layer package that implements the communications stack for Symbian OS. The package offers protocol independent servers and support infrastructure for integrating any communications protocol into the comms stack.
The package provides tools for testing multi-homed TCP/IP connectivity.
This is a UI front end to the imsrv package. This provides a phonebook integrated IM/Presence/VoIP experience.
Windows components for connecting, accessing and managing the PC with the device
The Device Debug Services package provides platform based debug services
Device Services package provides services for HW related services, system startup and power save management.
