If anybody holds Meltemi-OS powered device in their hands... Wouldn't it be possible to request source code for open-source parts of Meltemi from Nokia-or-Microsoft? And maybe, in far away future, reverse-engineer the closed blobs?

Yes, fairly possible except for the fact that the devices were not really ever released to public, never ever sold anywhere.
I am not sure if GPL is valid in a case where you got hold of a development device.

Thee are 2 alternatives that could happen if you contact sourcecode.request@nokia.com on the matter;
either they may actually send you the open-source parts on a DVD or more likely they'll demand that you return the prototype to them.

I'd imagine the HW on Meltemi is somewhat better, probably there's more core memory but CPU-wise they might be similar.
