Again, you may make that legal argument with any court you want, on your own dime. But I (and HiFo, and those involved) do not want to fight that fight, because I/we were of the belief that there is legal ground for Nokia's point of view. We did try to negotiate this with Nokia, several times, and got a firm "these are the conditions" each time.
Err, the conditions of Nokia were to deny the objective truth of midgard being FOSS as well as stuff that OUR maemo techstaff wrote being FOSS? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Sorry when I can't help but suspecting that it's been the poorly phrased question rather than the notion of those who answered which been the major color in this paint.
