Anyway, instead of ranting I think you can better contribute and see why stuff is closed source, what the reasons are, if you can contribute to change the status, and so on. That project has been ongoing for a long time now... see e.g. http://wiki.maemo.org/Why_the_closed_packages

The only excuse that does not seem wrong on the link that you gives:
# Third party: Nokia does not own the code and therefore does not decide on the license.
I'm going to wait for the list about what is FOSS and what is not FOSS before deciding if I buy the N900 or not.

but now, when I see the openness of mind of some members of this community, I wonder if I'll participate.
