This I wholeheartedly agree with.

But they are both factors... so I can see why some people might call android "more open" than Maemo as a sales pitch just because the source is more open.

Android itself is not the problem.. but Google is in no way a Nokia. When Google starts allowing their phones to be rooted with an app in the official google market.... then we'd have something to truly discuss about "openness".
