No, you are wrong. The kernel driver is open, but it is totally useless. The kernel drivers just give you pipes, but you can't understand the data that goes in those pipes. You must have the Nokia binaries for many functions. There is no reason to believe that meego will include equivalent of those as open source, so the only way to have phone functionality in "community" version of meego on N900 is to run Nokia binaries from Fremantle.
