Although something is Open, it doesn't mean it's without leadership.
When a company decides to create something Open, they usually retain the leadership of what they want to create, but invite others to negotiate a direction. OpenOffice.org is a good example - when the leadership direction changed, a major part of the "Open" community rebelled - but they couldn't change it. So they had to fork, start over, market a new product based on the old one - LibreOffice.
If Intel pulled out of MeeGo, I am sure someone would pick up stuff and fork out a new thingie from it. Nokia, however, try to prevent a similar scenario with un-opensourcing Symbian right now. Those bastids. :B

Thank you! And here I was thinking I was the only one to believe that. I admit I am not really a follower of the mailing lists, but it comes as a shock to me that apparently the "fully (99.9%) open sourced" OS MeeGo is actually being manipulated and bended to the will and benefits of a few... That sounds too much like corporatocracy and should not be associated with the words "Open Source"... I'm disappointed in Intel
someone needen to make decision I really hope this will change in the future.
I dont want to be a troll here just give my feelings about hoow it looks too me.

Nonetheless I totally agree that Intel (and MeeGo in general) should not dismiss usefull tech and even more usefull market presence that can still be provided by Nokia.

Remember the saying
"Nokia managment goes on vacation everytime steve jobs appears on stage with a new apple product"
You also should remember this
"Nokia or any company as per say will not EVER release a new product with a couple of new features when their rival is releasing a new product".
kindoff shadows or puts them in direct comparision for the consiumer or developer.
Duh its basic managerial 101 rule to be followed (next to basic electrical steps to be fllwd"always wear rubber gloves and plug off power to appliance")by any company whatsover !!
