Hypothetically yes, but a more seamless open mode isn't going to happen with Nokia.
If anything, PR1.2 is even more closed than PR1.1.
What are you referring to? I've certainly seen nothing else to indicate it's become "more closed".
What would be great is if Nokia donates Harmattan as open source to the community before it expires in its WP7 grave.
It we're lucky we may convince them to open some areas, but large chunks won't be, nor should they.

Never going to happen. They'll be re-using much of it in Meltemi...

In my crystal ball I see Nokia broken up and its smartphone division sold to Microsoft. Before that happens some good people in Nokia realizing that MS will kill MeeGo/Meltimi immediately donates Harmattan to the open source community.
