What's the big deal about closed source binaries for drivers?
That's very common for most big OSS projects....
(2)
Hang on, Qt comps from Harmattan are to be reusable in Vanilla MeeGo & vice-versa.
They remain proprietary, & devs who want to use them must "theme" them differently.
But it remains leverage-able for devs outside the device program...
This is to ensure consistency in UI/apps between the two platforms, going forward.
Does Google recruit developers to support the "stock Android" community.
Or do they rely on the sheer momentum of 3rd party initiatives...
To provide updates/fixes outside the limits of the handset maker's updates/support?
I believe it's a combo right....
Maemo/MeeGo can't leverage 3rd parties to anywhere near the same scale.
And they won't be able to for some time (if ever), until they get enough critical mass.
But that doesn't mean you don't start somewhere, and try to get that ball rolling
Nothing I've read indicates things are closed in such a way, that collaboration between Nokia/MeeGo can't work.
And increasingly continue to cross-pollinate one another, as (if) momentum builds![]()
Sure it's not more open that Maemo (less so in some ways), but in practical terms it doesn't matter.
The MeeGo community can/are building mechanisms to ensure the 2 projects still bounce-off each other.

Simple questions about a certain advertised feature should never be met with "I'll never tell you" type of responses. I personally have a serious issue with that. If you're part of the privileged part of the community, you don't owe them anything, but you shouldn't exactly hold your position over others.
Then as you hold all the answers why have you not we-written Maemo from start to finish so that we may have a perfect os?.
What some are saying is true... this thread goes full circle and starts again from square one.
At this rate we will all be dead and buried before anything happens.
This is why i start to take the pervebial and rant on.

Well, you have to admit, your initial posting wasn't exactly cordial.
So I'm not sure why you'd expect all sweetness in terms of a response.
While you two battled it out, it eventually got clarified anyway*
So that's at least one less vague thing surrounding the N9!
*as best is reasonably possible for now.
