ah. I'm not agreeing but now I understood what you're after. Actually there was an effort to do an open version of maemo some years ago here. You even might have heard of the project "Mer". Of course Mer does something different nowadays but anyway
Personally, I do not believe that getting 100% "open" state of Maemo is possible via any "transfer" of IP from Nokia, even if they would like to. Simply put, they're not owners of many parts, so no ammount of begging/business prroposals is going to make it happen.
Also, even if we put aside current positive boost in cooperation with Nokia, I'm perfectly sure that - in case of "doomsday" or separation scenario - all Council/Community can do for current code is to keep it available, both psychically and legally (OBS repos etc), then, we would be in position where we *must* go our own way into future. Not much to be scavenged from currently closed bits, anyway.
