What I read today [1] as a reply to the question: Is it mandatory for Android phone manufacturers to release their ROM source code?

Hmm...Great question. If anything like this happens don't request, force! Sign a petition in change.org and get 2500+ votes. You do this and those people will HAVE to release them. Does it really work? 4000 votes and broadcomm had to reply! Launched the source code for bcm21553 in 10 days!
Maemo is no longer supported by Nokia. No new devices are being sold. No support anymore. They don't care about the platform anymore. Why don't we do the same as the Broadcom users?

We too could make a petition for Nokia/MS to release the source code for Maemo, at least for the userspace software.

Of course I mean the code Nokia/MS is permitted to release, not belonging to other parties.

Community Council: can you do it?
I'm asking for an official reply from the CC.
