Then if they release the UI, it is pretty conceivable that it will be reused, yes, especially in the targeted markets (developing countries).
Sooooo... either 1) They're overly paranoid and hilariously afraid someone will lift and use their open-source drivers and software on their own cheapy chinese-made clones (omnomnomnom! hehe)... or 2) they're continuing to intentionally purchase open-source unfriendly architectures and continuing to make contracts for said hardware despite the fact that the big selling feature of the Maemo/MeeGo line IS the openness.

In the former case, they're just being hilarious and I can only shake my head and they should feel shame. In the latter case, I hope Nokia falls flat on its face for BOTH that and the move to Windows Phone 7 and Eflop & Co. can eat dirty tire-marked underwear for all I care. heh
