Nokia believes OMAP2 support for Maemo 5 on the community level is more viable than providing official support, and having learned a thing or two about Nokia's structure and methodology, and having seen what's in store for Maemo 5, I agree with them.

To this end, Nokia is providing the community with (rather unprecedented) support in through stuff like binary relicensing and active developer assistance (among other things).

Nokia always has (and still is) pushing very hard for more open hardware, but it's not a battle you win overnight, and not one, unfortunately, that they can freely publicize.
