However, just to get this clear:
(sorry for weird quoting)
  • Will Nokia provide hardware warranty for N900 devices installed with MeeGo? Maybe?

It's the discussion about flashing another OS breaking warranty. Good question. What was the conclusion on that one anyway?
  • Will Nokia allow drivers to be redistributed freely in MeeGo images for N900? Maybe?

Maybe, but having access to a kickstart file to generate a image on your own and a repository with all the closed source binaries by providing a N900 IMEI, is decent too.
  • Will Nokia provide customer support for MeeGo on N900? No

No, that's what they said..
  • Can customers MeeGo on N900 without needing to enable R&D-mode? No

Yes. R&D mode was just because we didn't provide DSME for watchdog handling.
  • Will Nokia grant an end user license for the use of Nokia Apps/Artwork/Differentation on MeeGo on N900? Unlikely?
Unlikely, but in Mer we we able to replace artwork quite easily. Apps might be possible. End user license being along lines of 'not commercially support, we aren't liable if you blow up" .. maybe.
  • Will software bought from Nokia Ovi Store work with MeeGo on N900? No?
Don't know. There's no DRM on Ovi Store for N900 though.
  • Will customer support be provided for software bought from Nokia Ovi Store for MeeGo on N900? No
Depends on the provider of the software, I guess?
