Whoopah! Freeware support from Nokia
Nokia has announced the Symbian Signed Freeware Route to Market, sponsored and paid for by themselves.

Nice on Nokia. Canny move too as hopefuly it will encourage more freeware programs which is nice.
I wonder how much this is going to impact the will / will not lock down debate on phones now freeware authors have a solution to the signing problem.

Would this be applicable to OPL editor, runtime and the OPXs for S80 & S60 beyond v7?

Shareware
Interesting to note that 'honourware' is supported. In other words, as long as the software's 100% fully working (like most of my apps - grin!), then Nokia/Symbian will sign it free of charge.
No idea on the OPL runtime, although I'd imagine this being signed by Symbian - behind the scenes Ewan and I have managed to bend quite a few people's ears on this matter. Watch this space, we'll shout when we've talked to the right people at The Show 8-)

After discussions, the OPL Runtime and aassociateed tools from the Sourceforge Project are freeware as defined by this project, and thus would be eligible to be signed in this way.
