I imagine, if so, then the closed stuff like the phone wouldn't work right?
Might be worth pm to smoku (not even sure if he still hangs here anymore) as he's the brains behind the project.

The original builds were based on the Meego Hardware adaptation for N900 with Hildon UI on top. This included an arm build of Meego CE for handsets with the closed (non-oss) binary drivers as provided by Nokia during the MeeGo project - Repo for Meego CE is still available, inlcuding the non-oss components for N900 and N9. there are complete packaged images for the n900 available @ repo.meego.com

N900 builds can be found HERE if you're interested.

smoku's work, from memory, centred around getting Hildon Ui running on top of MeeGo, and then Mer with changes to enable the use of gtk3 in it's upstream form, so as to allow for package upgrades that were not supported with the nokia fork.

He can give you much more info than I could.
