I'll just summarize what has happened so far:
* abill_uk has hinted people to break the law and their contracts to publish code (which was the straw for me).
* Several arguments for why this cannot work has been made.
* There is no way that the full source code of Maemo5 can be published. Especially because of 3rd party IPR - think Flash, Skype, SGX drivers, etc. This makes the petition useless and it will not help anything.
* There has been (also in the past) statements that applications are not going to be open sourced.

momcilo, if you have specific questions about components and licensing, I'd like to take that in another thread. But please do your homework on how open source licensing works as I think you have misconceptions.

freemangordon, I'd like to help you with your fbdev problem, so feel free to poke me on #meego-arm IRC.
Thankyou for that and please do something for yourself and open up your own MeeGo thread for disussion as i feel it will help you much more than this thread will.

Also please keep up the work on MeeGo adaption for the N900 and i promise you that if it even gets to the point it is a fully programmable os taking over the Maemo os you will have my 100% backing !.
Right now it is not a lot at all and from a developers eyes looking in a little dissapointing so i want you to prove me wrong and get MeeGo up and running as fast as you can, i wish you all the luck in gaining dev's for your project but right now as it stands there is nothing to even touch the Maemo os for the N900.

Maemo stands firm in this community as it is after all Maemo.org and the reason for this Poll.
