I think Nokia should focus on building hardware and let the software be developed elsewhere. I can understand why some of maemo5 are closed but do not accept or agree upon it. Although the OS is pretty awesome it could have been even more awesome.
I hope Nokia will open up more.. especially the contacts widget. Also to make more easy to change to different OS. For that maybe a more open BME would be needed.
So even if Nokia have not gone the full yard yet.. they have brought us open-source lovers closer. They could easily have taken the other route. And Meego will take it a step further on that road.

The first one was already mentioned above, but I don't thing page 13 is the best place to start reading it.

No. The firmware is close because Nokia chose that it be close. There is no law requiring it to be close.

Oh and IIRC the GSM firmware isn't Nokia's. I believe they sold their baseband group to Renesas and it is in fact their baseband firmware.

Good news is there is actually an opensource GSM stack being developed. Bad news is, it's only GSM, and everything else is a lot more complicated. Worse news is that it's at the very earliest stages - last I read up on it it was able to listen to GSM signals, but not send anything.
And each hardware port is it's own challenge.

That's the best I could come up with through power search of this forum.
Edit:
Here's the thread, on the page where I got the info to make the above conclusion:

There's something about a .cherry_state file, and just in general rambling about the MyNokia subscription thing.
