You got any links that validate this?
Ideally commentary from key devs involved, not just links to infra.
Not sure what your point is. As far as it goes, there's not one mobile OS that's been fully open. Maemo, MeeGo, nor Tizen or Android.

Not a one. But the fact that people will argue incessantly about which is more open; doesn't matter in the end. Access to the SDK's, open source and it's hosted by Linux Foundation is pretty open. More than the aforesaid.

Edit: It seems like Tizen works with the Linux Foundation, not hosted by the Linux Foundation.

That's not true, unless by "MeeGo" you're referring to Harmattan.
Harmattan UI was closed. A lot of the stuff that Nokia had to do to make it work as a phone was closed - battery, GPS drivers, phone stack and a few others. Maemo 5, to be so "open" was rather closed as well.

The things that people champion as open, they're not. Not at all.

And it didn't seem to lengthen the lifespan of those projects.
