On the other hand, if Nokia makes MeeGo depend upon numerous binary blobs to operate on this hardware... then you have a point.

There is no open competitive alternative to PowerVR.
There is no 100% open phone stack (there is always a binary blob). And all firmware is closed source. For legal reasons for radios.

And then there's the concern that even if there are very minimal binary blobs, the blobs that ARE there might become a prison for all the open portions in the same way that Tivo binary blobs and signature-based lock-downs can imprison the open-source on the hardware and make it as good as closed. Does MeeGo have any charter or rules preventing that, as a possible instance?
