Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”) and Hildon Foundation (“Hildon”) have announced an agreement regarding assigning Nokia’s Maemo trademarks, domain names and trademark applications to Hildon. The agreement includes the Maemo community website, www.maemo.org.

Nokia has been the owner of the features of the Maemo brand that have been used in connection with mobile devices and software distributed by Nokia, as well as supporting the maintenance of the Maemo Website for the Maemo community. Nokia has transferred the Maemo brand features to Hildon, who will continue to support the Maemo community.

Hildon shall assume the full responsibility and liability for the maintenance and support of all the activity that is and will be on-going on the Maemo Website. For clarity, Hildon is not responsible for customer support for Nokia mobile devices using Maemo, such as N900 and/or N9. Following the acquisition of substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business by Microsoft in April 2014, Microsoft is now responsible for the support of Nokia branded mobile devices. Local contact details can be found at www.nokia.com/global/wayfinder.

Features and Brand, fine.. but what exactly do I have to understand under "trademark applications"?
For example MicroB included will the source code be transferred to Hildon as well?

I think the amount of time to wait for the applications to be open sourced by Nokia is bigger than the amount of time to reverse engineer them.

I probably should have given this news a thread of its' own in the first place.
Instead I burried it here... already two weeks ago...

The announcement is on the front door of maemo.org, it is an announcement and not a discussion topic. There is not much to gain from this, apart of HiFo owns the trademark and maemo.org officially now. As said several times over the last years now, we did not get any closed sources from Nokia.
