Sailfish OS becomes Aurora OS in Russia

It appears that Sailfish, the Operating System by Finnish company Jolla, will now power 8 million+ devices for the Russian government. Renamed AuroraOS, at least in Russia, it has the Android compatibility layer stripped away. Last year, Russian company Rostelecom bought three quarters of the open mobile platform that developed Sailfish. Rostelecom is one of the foremost Russian telecommunications companies. It's also a leading provider of broadband, IPTV, landline subscriptions in Russia. After the production woes of the last few years, it's nice to see Sailfish finding a footing, even if it is in reduced form and exclusive to Russia.
