Firstly.
Good for you ...glad litigation cannot touch you in your country concerning the issue.
That isn't the case elsewhere.
For your sake, I do hope you are certain of your immunity under the law.

Secondly.
There are precious few bits and pieces for Maemo that are proprietary and this happens to be one of precious few.

Thirdly.
Regardless who owns the rights, the owner does have the legal option to pursue litigation.
That is the whole point of proprietary ownership.
Rights.
Likewise, the passage of time means nothing.
What matters is who owns it and what mood any given moment may be concerning infringement.

Its fine with me.. whatever anyone does ..with said software..
Want to share it ...go for it...
Want to share it here directly and thereby threaten the possibility that at any time litigation may be directed towards you and towards maemo.org for allowing its dissemination on its site...
My personal care and concern are minimal, I have pretty much everything here for maemo4 and maemo5 backed up...
The loss of the forum would be the sad part...
But things change ...and nothing is forever...so I personally am fine with that as well.

Lastly,
Why not spend your time poking at current posts and threads, instead of grave digging this necro thread.
Since as you said...
It is for outdated software for outdated hardware...
