Didn't Nokia BUY OUT the company that produced the Wayfinder app for the tablets?

So why didn't they make Wayfinder free ? (or is this question a bit too naive ?)

Let me just float an idea
1) Wayfinder is currently owned by Vodaphone, who is not using it.
2) Wayfinder for n810 has some value, on paper.
3) Perhaps the Maemo community could petition Vodaphone to done Wayfinder to the Linux Foundation, who could then provide registration as a premium, for a certain level of donation to the the Linux Foundation.
Kinda like the Premiums one gets for donating to Public Radio/TV?
Seems to me, it like everyone could benefit this way.

Or we could simply give up on this ridiculous charade, learn from the experience and either put our money into someone else who'll give us better support or at least provide FREE navigation service, if it must be so limited in scope.
