Either I missed the news that Sailfish opened up their GUI and Silica components, or perhaps you missed the news that Maemo is on its way to version 7. The only proprietary parts in Maemo 7 are those which are unavoidable (SGX drivers, WiFi/Bluetooth firmware).

EDIT: Even Fremantle was arguably less proprietary than Sailfish in the places where it matters. If you wrote an app for Fremantle, in whatever framework, it would be mostly portable. If you write a Sailfish app, it will run wherever Silica components can run.
