It's hard because almost every maemo person at Nokia has left, but I think we still have the support from the Nokia side to get it done.

The business side also seems to not have objections to extending to us the redistribution license at maemo.org for the parts necessary to maintain the software, but legal hasn't cleared it yet.

Nemein is more uncertain and somewhat unresponsive to maemo.org council up to this point. I am now having Nokia go at them. I think it will get worked on, but the budget is a big obstacle. They have a nice contract with Nokia and I don't see how the finances line up after 12/31/2012.
