... Honestly, though, Stskeeps is right. You're better off just using Ubuntu or Debian (though neither of them are optimized for armv7) ...

Ari also said during his keynote at OSiM World that Nokia had no interest in licencing/working on getting Maemo onto non-Nokia devices. It's not yet-another-"standards"-body to prevent fragmentation: it's Nokia's mobile Linux stack.
As Quim says, that's not to say that hacking on a Maemo firmware release to get some bits running on the Pandora won't be quietly ignored. But I can't imagine, say, Adobe being quite so friendly if the Flash player gets extracted out of repository.maemo.org (the password's not hard to figure out) and run on another mobile device without them receiving any money.
I had become convinced that the arguments over which OS is more open, Android or Maemo, had been decided in favor of Maemo. But I must say that there are stronger points than I had imaged in favor of Android, and this seems to be one example of such. Android runs on a lot of different devices by a lot of different manufacturers.
But still, for some unknown reason, I tend to just "feel" that Maemo is more open. Maybe because it is more like desktop Linux...

Technically? Certainly. In that regard, the answer to "could it" is yes.
Realistically? Why would Nokia license Maemo out to be run on a competing device? Don't bet on it happening any time soon. In that regard, the answer to "could it" is no.
Mer? Sure. But Mer doesn't have phone functionality, last I checked. And the same for other Linux variants (Debian or not).
