👩‍💻 The FreeEpoc organization was created to fork the Symbian project. The starting point is the original EPLv1.0 licensed Symbian as of 07/12/2010. All code is licensed under the EPLv1.0 unless an exception is required for some reason.
🙋‍♀️ We intend to use artificial intelligence for documentation and all kinds of things that need to be clarified and developed.
🍿 This is even maybe a little unrealistically ambitious, so you're welcome to have fun!
The name of the project comes from the original EPOC operating system name (on which Symbian is based) and the common GNU/BSD world way of naming free source code projects, i.e. by adding the prefix "Free".
The name has Epoc and not EPOC because that was the original name (Epoc -> EPOC -> Symbian). Also, FreeEPOC would have been an ugly looking name for the project initiator, but that's just a matter of taste.
The name "FreeSymbian" would have been too questionable to use due to the trademarks associated with it.
