YES IT IS, is it so hard to understand that Maemo is as much as a GNU/Linux distro as any other one and having a fully open GNU/Linux distro working flawlessly on the N900 is enough for your purposes? That every modern free/alternative/hobby OS fishes for drivers on either Linux or FreeBSD and thus having documented, free, working GNU/Linux drivers & applications to all practical purposes is the same as having "a fully open n900"?

Unless you're demanding here Nokia releases a "HOWTO PORT YOUR HOBBY OPERATING SYSTEM TO THE N900", which won't happen. Not even OM did that.


It HAS ALL TO DO with freeing Maemo. Yes, even the GUI apps. Or you do you want a useless camera driver (which is already open) without any of the postprocessing algorithms (which are closed)?

Please explain this to us instead of blindly saying "Invalid".

Basically, fully free Maemo ↔ "reprogrammable N900". Maemo is not fully free, so the N900 is not fully reprogrammable. You'll hit closed roadblocks as you port your kernel to the N900. We work on them and either RE them or push for opening them.
