I think ( that's are my personal opinions, not my employers ) swipe is very easy to implement but it is so great invention that Nokia wan't to give it to competing handset manufacturers. I guess that Nokia will have patent for it and releasing code as FOSS even if code is just very small piece of code would implicitly mean that Nokia give up patent. I think that everyone has already noticed that it is about impossible be significant handset manufacturer without a lot of patents because there is paten war ongoing and you need own ones to defend.
