The reason could be, that if they sell it to person base, they are afraid it gets just copied to everyone without them getting paid. Isn't Dalvik with open source license, so they have to give the source if they sell it. When they have a contract, so every device in some category has that VM, they'll get paid for every device out there for that specific version. For example lets say Samsung Galaxy S2 Meego-version.

It may be possible, if they say and set some price and then we gather as many people who are interested in Alien Dalvik and then make an offer to buy the product to all N900s out there. If the price is right, I am sure they will play ball.
