Now because the N900 is coming out. I suspect some part of the N900 hardware or of Maemo 5 may require an Apple license and a cross licensing deal could not be worked out.

If it's related to Maemo 6 and multitouch, the only reason to do it now instead of later is to introduce FUD regarding the iPhone while the N900 initially shows up in stores.
