Sometimes a developer doesn't want to write a whole calendar or media player or file manager or web browser from scratch, and just wants to fix a little bug or add a little feature to the existing Nokia-developed one. I understand that Nokia might want to keep these closed-source initially, but once they've lost interest in them, I think they should open them.
