We can't host Nokia's closed source things repos without permission. Of course, user can have them on disks unofficially, and share personally (on optical disks or via sharing services/torrents etc) as law permits in country where they live.

Still, i don't see sane reason for Nokia to shut down their repos (non-extras) without allowing us to mirror them - that would mean dropping support totally for devices of Nokia's every client, *not* our project. That would mean no N900 users would be able to upgrade to pr 1.3 (or 1.3.1), etc. Shutting down support for such device seems like suicidal move for Nokia - they keep files for devices older 4-6x as much.
