Yes and no. If Nokia isn't interested in buying AlienDalvik for maemo, then how much money are they making from the N900 community?

Selling their VM & libs to the end-users would be one way of recuperating a *little* (I admit) bit of cost from their demo. For sure, it won't be the same level of money than it would be from a operator agreement, but still better than nothing. The real issue would be the maintenance costs, but that's a different issue.

I'm trying to understand how to recompile dalvik for n900 looking at android-x86 and source.android.com, but that's not an easy task to achieve as a side project with few hours here and there...
