To grab the sources, and build a working, bootable to desktop version of maemo is not possible, in my understanding - correct?
Nah, I'm not trying to be politically correct, just explaining my own experience - I work for community, not Nokia, so in those areas I'm still a PITA . And you're 100% right, this is not possible. In a couple of days, my openness report will go out, so you can isolate exactly why some things are closed. And yes, that Maemo isn't 100% OSS is hurting me daily in Mer. But let's take that in another thread, feel free to fork.
