It is Nokias best interest to give it away so someone else will stumble upon it, waste their time on it,and Nokia has less competition in the future.

By completely opening it (for free?) Nokia just gave 'the keys to the kingdom' to whomever is interested to make a maemo clone. Thereby significantly lowering the barrier of entry for their potential competitor...

Especially under the current leadership, this seems impossible.
