Im assuming the fact they are charging a license fee is the deal breaker here?

Wouldnt Uplink work great on the phone otherwise? I remember running it on quite the trash setups in the past.
Interesting...

Found this:
The fundamentals are simple. If you change uplink and produce a "patch" for a platform that we have sold on, then feel free to distribute it. If you produce a totally new version, contact us and we'll try to work something out.
I guess it depends on the person considering the port if they see paying £30 from their pocket as a deal breaker... Whether Introversion would consider Maemo just "Linux" or a separate platform would determine whether you could just throw it out there or need to work something out with them as they write. I'm thinking it's likely they would think it is a new platform... Maybe they'd even like to sell it or maybe it could be released without datafiles as nonfree in the repos.
