How about asking *them* what they think what for they got elected? Also I don't see any significant number of community participating in this annoying discussion, so a few vocal ones can take over and determine the direction all this will move. According to my own definition of what's council, we probably actually should listen to the few shouters, then all step down and declare "you asked for it, you got it". Not even maemo council rules could stop or cure that. Somebody here said "'frowning' is no legal term" (OWTTE). Nevertheless I'm convinced Nokia will think twice if they are willing to finally sign any agreement with a legal entity that by itself obviously has no clue about own role and own liabilities and fights with what Nokia considers "the community"
my understanding of how you see this situation is something along the lines of:

I am a member of an entity , within that entity I am part of a group which has control over the actions of the entity, I believe this entity may be trying to do something illegal.

If this is the case i would advise anyone in that position to _IMMEDIATELY_ seek legal advice, if this intact is the case you are putting yourself in a legally risky position.
If for some reason you cannot immediately seek legal advice I would strongly recommend formally resigning from power, and distancing yourself as much as possible from the entity, but if at all possible _GET_ _LEGAL_ _ADVICE_.

I also believe this is not the case but IANAL and personally I would prefer you stayed a part of this community, as i believe the loss of your input in the fields of electrical engineering and programming on their own right would be significant. ( not saying you don't have valuable input to add in other fields - you do )
