Good news everyone!
If I'm reading this right, they DID release all the source (including the video drivers) for the Samsung Captivate on their open-source site!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...739823&page=10
I guess they just didn't put it in the same single tarball. YAY!!!
Once again, something Nokia didn't even bother to do in all these years with Maemo.

If the architecure is open, I don't see why it wouldn't be worth doing. Question is, who has the know-how and willingness?

) ? Would people really be interested in something without all the Nokia sauce added (like Flash, Maps, Skype, Exchange, Ovi stuff, etc...), and without most of the things in Extras ?

I mean.. I thought MeeGo is 100% open source, with Nokia only adding that binary closed crapware in the image THEY prep for their own device ONLY. MeeGo on other platforms wouldn't have it anyway.
