Base Frameworks
Similarly to maemo (Nokia's internet tablet framework), ALP is based on components drawn from the GNOME project, including the GTK+ and GStreamer frameworks. A variety of other core components are drawn from mainstream open source projects, including BlueZ, matchbox, cramfs, and others. These components are licensed under the GPL, LGPL, and other open source licenses, meaning that ALP is a "free" or "open" environment on the software level.
A number of components from ALP have been themselves released under the Mozilla Public License as The Hiker Project. These components address issues of application life-cycle, intertask communication, exchange and use of structured data, security, time and event-based notifications, and other areas common to the development of applications for mobile devices.

Famous quotes containing the word base:
“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
