What puzzles me about Jolla and it's Sailfish OS is the constant emphasis on being "truly open" when in fact the sources of the OS are nowhere to be found. They point you to projects such as Mer and say Sailfish OS is based on it but by the same logic Apple is "truly open" because OS X is based on Darwin.

It's not fully open. See http://piratepad.net/JollaSoftwareState

However Jolla said that long term plans about opening things up aren't finalized.
