I don't reallly understand what you may be proposing here, but if it will 
involve violating Nokia's licences (e.g. distributing their proprietary 
software **without** permission) then it is probably best not discussed in any 
open forum or mailing list!  Certainly not here.  Nor is it, in my opinion, 
necessary to have such a discussion yet.

I am much more interested in a discussion with Quim about getting permission 
(a permanent licence of some form) for whatever we need to do to keep the 
devices and community going if/when Nokia decide not to support us financially 
any more.  This is more urgent because, with the best will in the world, 
Nokia's current financial situation may cause them to have to take some 
unpleasant decisions sooner than they expected.
