Ovi store supports C/C++. Ovi store does not (yet) support Maemo. Please contact Ovi and notify them of your desire to publish popular game titles for Maemo so they will be more likely to prioritize Maemo support.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Unfortunately... if your game is written in C/C++ you won't be able to publish it on the OVI Store, as the store doesn't support them... (quite ashamed I know).
Even if you pay the 50EU, that is not going to give you access to upload that kind of content on the OVI Store, either free or commercial... (we have recently been in that situation...)
Maemo uses .deb packages, so I can't see any limitation in the languages of use, you can put almost anything inside a .deb package.
Of course you will not be able to distribute a C/C++ binary alone, you need to create a .deb package with the binary.

Even then, you won't be able to distribute them... there's no support for .deb on http://publish.ovi.com...
If you want to sell your apps you have to pass by your own payment inside the game... and basically publish the game yourself...

hmm I wonder how Angry Bird being published. It's looks like C/C++ game to me. I wonder Quim would help. Have you tried to contact him?

maemo ovi store is still in beta and only nokia partners are in there as it stands,
the link you posted is about publishing for symbian and accepted formats for symbian there is no maemo documentation there at all,
you are best to contact nokia directly to find out about maemo or
go to forum nokia i'm sure there is people there who know more and can help

You could release it as shareware. You know, a free level and then in-app or website payment for a code of sorts or remote activation. I am 100% sure his company has thought this out though.
