@OP Think of Open Source as a journey and not a destination, and you might understand why OSS supporters ...support.

It sounds to me as if you're confusing open-source with open-core. There is a significant difference, and Nokia provided us with open-core in Maemo and it's reasonable to see why it's failed.

Open-source, wherever it manages to exist, seems to continue to move on just fine, inside and outside of the Maemo universe while Maemo (being only open-core) is dying more and more each year with every new device Nokia shoved out.

One thing keeps open source from fulfilling its potential: commercial interference, especially FUD.
But the closed source status quo is done. Kaput. They just don't realize it yet. There is overwhelming data supporting the financial benefits of companies moving to open sourced suppliers-- the change just can't happen overnight.
But it will. Don't blink.

Now, if you have issues with a platform that uses FOSS, then that is a different matter, and one that you should blame the manufacturer for, not the FOSS community or concept.
