Again, it all comes down to: Will Nokia distribute the sources upon request? We'll soon know. Meanwhile, we must give them the benefit of the doubt - even if it's Nokia.
IANAL, it's not their job (and they don't really violate anything) as the Ovi T&C pins any FOSS license compliancy very specifically to the publisher:

Code:
16. Open Source Software
