I hope this will not be the case and Nokia will strive to make a good example and open source as much as possible when they integrate the current Maemo 5 into MeGoo.
Wouldn't that go against the whole concept of this merger? The big push here seems to be that Moblin brings the open OS and Maemo brings the development env.
