I don't fully understand why you're singling out stskeeps all the time, he's paid to be part of a hardware adaptation team, making the MeeGo N900 hardware adaptation. The team has access to the few closed bits needed to make a working hardware adaptation for the good of the device community. Without him actually reaching out and being part of the device community, you'd have no idea he existed or was he was the one doing the work.

This is how the real world works:

* A company hires and pays a consultant/subcontractor to work on an issue.
* They give the needed access to the sources needed under strict non-disclosure to do the work
* Copyright of code remains with the company, this means the consultant/subcontractor cannot legally publish any sources or even the binaries himself
* Copyright of the work/contribution being done by the consultant/subcontractor is transferred (usually) to the company.
* A representative of the company then publishes the results of the work to the general public, maybe as part of a device OS, maybe as part of a source code release, maybe as part of a binary redistributable release

In this case, it's Stskeeps as a consultant and two-three teams from subcontracting companies doing work to get things working. Nokia pays these guys to get this specific work done - Maemo work isn't part of that/part of their work. You'll have to prod Nokia on getting other issues fixed and financed.
