The Humble Bundle (read it up, also if you're quick you can do your part too) made over $1M, so most of the indie game studios are open sourcing the games in the bundle:

Now it's our turn to give back. As of 5/11/10, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture pledge to go open source. We are preparing the sources right now and will be releasing them ASAP. We spent last night preparing Lugaru and it is available now. The code is still a little rough (no Visual Studio project yet, for instance) but hopefully with the help of the community we can rapidly make it more accessible to everyone.
This means it's at least theoretically possible to port these to maemo (they're already cross-platform and run on general Linux so it should not be quite the impossibly herculean task porting normally is).
