Which is Nokia's fault entirely, and has nothing to do with using open source software in a commercial project.

Are You sure we are talking about the same phone? In my n900, just after i bought it, maemo-extras was enabled by default.
And on mine, Extras was present in the list but disabled.

After reflashing it to vanila state, maemo-extras was also enabled by default. Why you think NOKIA did it?
Who knows? If you restore from backup, IIRC, it will restore your repos... In any case, it's certainly not because they were betting the farm on the maemo.org community, I assure you.

PS: wan't is not a new word - it's my mistake.
IQ below 50, so i have to explain it?
And out of left field, more ad-hominem.
