This is correct. A license for vBulliten was purchased with HiFo funds, which was setup and used for TMO on the hardware from Nokia.

This is incorrect. Use of the Maemo trademark was not grated as part of the TMO hand over, as that belongs to Nokia, not Reggie. The domain names for TMO are also handled by Nokia, which owns and operates the Maemo.org DNS. The ITT domain may or may not have been handed off, I do not recall as I was not on the Board and was quite busy with other issues at the time.
