So any packages I make will NOT be Maemo compatible. My plan, actually, is to specifically link to Maemo incompatible libraries, even if unneeded . . .

Hell. I may even use RPM's

ROFL!
So dude, you may have gotten a few rude responses but you gotta admit, you have came in here like a turd in the punchbowl. That stunt with announcing an improved busybox then withholding the files was childish too.

From your comments you obviously are at least a skilled developer and a smart guy. So put on your critical thinking hat for a second...

Go ahead and fork but why the pissy attitude? You aren't hurting Nokia by working towards incompatibility. IF your fork(s) succeed, you only help Nokia sell more tablets because your fork will be integrated with their hardware. You only hurt cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts and ultimately you hurt users.

Don't get me wrong, fork away. If you have the bandwidth to do it, then diversity only increases the value of my toy. But incompatibility out of spite is childish at best.
