I think there are a lot of things companies need to learn about how to best integrate open source into their business plans. It isn't just Nokia. It is probably a tough job, because open source and traditional business practices haven't generally been compatible with each other. Businesses generally want as much control as possible of their products, where open source often requires that you let go of some of that control.

I don't think anyone here thinks that Nokia has been a model citizen in the whole OSS community. At the same time, they have done more than most companies out there to work on going OSS. It probably hasn't been easy on either side of the equation.
