Linux Foundation is avoiding future patent trolling. Smart on their part. Maemo as an OS was to be replaced by MeeGo, still the case.
Yes i get the point clear but what people do not realise is many want linux to stop being a free source of development and it looks like they got to fight for that.

Linux will probably stay alive but not free and the promises of firstly Maemo then MeeGo to be open source never happened did it so now the squeeze carries on.

MeeGo as far as the N900 is concerned will never replace Maemo, we all know this now and that means we have Maemo dropped completely by Nokia for MeeGo and now MeeGo is going its own way commercially not free source like it was portrayed.

The N900 is probably THE only device Maemo will ever be an os for and unless somone can create a path to the closed code then Maemo is truly dead without further development even without all the closed bits.

Free development in THIS world? hahahahahahahaha.
