Good thing for Microsoft, then, that such a large portion of Maemo was kept closed-source so as to make it hard for the community to free themselves from the bonds of Nokia's control over the hardware that prevents it from ever truly going beyond the decrepit state of fossilization that it's already beginning to feel. MeeGo is about the only true hope I can see for the N900 and even that feels like it might never go anywhere if Microsoft has a say in limiting the release of the closed blobs that would have helped support bringing that onto the hardware.
