Thank you for the clarifications, GeneralAntilles. I understand the need for companies to protect their trademarks. I also would not be comfortable buying a knock-off. I would consider buying an alternative to N900 running the open parts of Maemo on a 4.3-4.8'' screen though...
I am curious if it will be possible to run N900 applications on Aigo or on Optima. If they sell well (because of their larger screens, better price, or whatever), then developers will have more reasons to write for Maemo, right?

Well, it really isn't all that surprising... Nokia, just like Apple, is a hardware company. It is in their best interest to break compatibility and portability, so that people would buy their next gadget. The software (or the OS) is only used as a bait...

Incompatibilities tend to have more to do with GTK+, etc than any deliberate decisions by Nokia.

Too bad it's not Maemo 5, but there is hope in China. Perhaps we will see a viable N900 replacement in the future, just with MeeGo.
Oh and behold, the Nokia N500:
