Nokia can decide alone on Nokia proprietary components and yes we want to do our best. But Nokia doesn't have the last word about third party software, and every third party is different. We can't guarantee or even know at this point what will be their position about redistributing their MeeGo-Harmattan software in a community driven version for the N900.

Again, the MeeGo context here helps, since perhaps these companies need to change something anyway in their distribution practices in relation to the MeeGo platform.

Too soon to tell and actually too much of a delicate topic. I'll inform about this community project to the Nokia guys in contact with these companies.
