  According to the video,Sailfish OS is being installed on Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3
  If the other files are avalaible,then any other Android phone with an unlocked Bootloader would be able to install the OS.

  And I don't understand this : 'Sailfish OS is being installed on Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3'
  How can you install ROM on ROM ? From what little knowledge I have, I can see that the hacker is flashing the ROM, which means old ROM (Android or CM as you claim) is been replaced by SailfishOS. Now,probably the reason behind flashing on CM looks obvious since CM uses custom Kernel which undoubtedly better than stock, even though it's just fork of it- but with better features.
  
  However, I am looking for some more official news regarding this.

  It's not ROM on ROM....the Sailfish OS is based on Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3
  Sailfish OS is a highly customised ROM having base of CM 10.1.3
  Also as u correctly said that CM provides much more customization options than the stock kernel.

  I don't understand.
  CM10 is based on Android while SailfishOS is entire different OS with different framework (to be precise it uses QT framework - QML), So how come Sailfish OS is based on CM10 ?
  Link me the source from where you read this, because afaik SailfishOS uses Android runtime which is based on opensource Android libraries, which helps to maintain the performance even at native environment.
  
  I would like to take a look of source from where you read that SailfishOS is based on CM10.1.Kindly link it here.

  It's simple man , as in video that person installs cm10.1.3 as a rom and sailfish zip file as add-on ..... just like we flash gapps to get google services on our phone.

  I guess you don't understand what I am trying to say here.
  How can you flash two OS with different framework tar files on each other & make the applications run ?
  
  I am pretty sure, it's not like what it seems in video. Maybe hacker is flashing CM10 first to get CM-Kernel & then flashing Sailfish ROM to replace CM ROM, which doesn't replaces CM-kernel but only replaces the /main files of CM ROM.
  BTW Sailfish OS is based on QT framework, totally different to that of AF.

  I guess, I used wrong example to explain. Explanation that u gave might be correct.
