This applies to all N900 app developers. I can't imagine that a million dollars of general liability insurance is cheap.

Not even joking. wtf.

I can see why you are getting hacked off with this but alos why Nokia are asking for corporate liability insurance. If they sell an app through the OVI store and it turns out you don't have all the rights you have asserted then they are in the chain of liabilty should someone choose to sue.

I found 1 Million Sterling insurance was quite cheap and covers other things if you are a software development company. I can recommend a UK broker but not sure if they would write business for a US incorporated body.

Best of luck!!
