But it is just a hope -- I have not seen any evidence that this will happen unless there is either a major PR impact or a major legal impact first.
People, this is disappointing but I am not terribly surprised. Nokia has said that MeeGo OS will be open, but not their UX, apps and Ovi services, which will be "integrated into the user experience." Read this - and think how Nokia means to succeed in the business with the strategy.

They will claim to be more open than most and probably be right. I have expressed my share of disappointment at the lack of openness, but it's time to address the situation as it exists. Look at the handset UX after it is released and decide if the community should attempt to provide an open UI to go on top of MeeGo?

This idea of dissuading the corporate machine will not work.
