| Maemo (as such) is free enough, some of the apps and drivers that Nokia
| ships with its tablets are not. A competitor interested in building a
| Maemo device should be able to adapt Maemo to its hardware and build
| replacements for the non-free apps.

Not all the parts of maemo are necessarily interesting to others.
Ubuntu has no need for busybox or initfs since we use a normal
initramfs with glibc instead.  We use a different bootloader (grub)
than the normal maemo stack and we use network-manager rather than
ConIC.
