It also reveals a cultural or management failing at Nokia.  Such steps
(making correct source available) should be properly planned into the
development process.  Once you do that, you'll find that they don't
actually take any significant time.

We hear endless talk of lawyers when it's a matter of why Nokia can't
make their media player (file manager, application manager, etc.) open
source.  Why are the same lawyers not so hot on making sure that legal
obligations are met w.r.t. the kernel code?
