I'm quite disappointed with what I've discovered. Maemo.org requires users to surrender their serial number and sign an EULA in order to update what was erroneously expressed to me as a totally open platform.

Exactly what components are not GPL'd?

Has there been any efforts yet to replace them? Could the black box components possibly be replaced by porting something from OpenMoko, Android, or the like?

I'm a developer who was highly motivated to contribute before I discovered this. Would it be feasible for a GNU purist to grab the GPL pieces and assemble an image that runs free of CSS contamination?

Also, from a legal standpoint, what rights do we give up if we sign the EULA? I wasn't even able to read the EULA w/out supplying my s/n.
