What Nokia did was to go straight for Opensource (with scratchbox-maemo). However the set of applications they considered core were not published (opera, news app, radio and media player come to my mind). If Irex has done a proper implementation of the software then they should have a clear division betwen what is open and what is not and do what Nokia did
Not to mention that modules do not have to be open.
With those two arguments in mind they could have done something secure but that complies to GPL.
What I still do not have very clear is...
When they release the source... Will they release the source of all the versions they have produced or just only the last one?
If they clearly violate GPL (and admit it)... Why are they making us wait? They should release what they have soon.
