So I read today that apparently it has been known for quite a while that Sailfish OS' "Alien Dalvik" feature will be unavailable on all non-Jolla phones which makes it impossible for those of us who want to install Sailfish on their own devices to use Android applications and need to be locked to the Sailfish native applications.
This is due to Alien Dalvik being proprietary and licensed software from the Myriad Group, thus cannot be bundled with ports of Sailfish OS (that includes the Nexus 4, i9305, Nexus 7 ports). As far as I can see it's sold as well, so installing it on the side like Gapps seems to be out of the question.
Has Jolla mentioned anything about this? All I can find are community members saying Alien Dalvik will be unavailable on ports due to the licensing of the product. Without it, Sailfish OS might suddenly becomes a much less interesting as a whole to many, as the ability to install and run Android applications were one of the key features of a otherwise very interesting OS. Any thoughts or more light to shed on this? Will Sailfish OS users that aren't using Jolla phones be stuck with native applications permanently? Or is this something Jolla will change as the product matures?
