Nice phrase, can you explain the reasons, please?

Phrase is partly incorrect. We will not have binary kernel drivers.

Reason for closed/binary components ? There are components like 3D graphics acceleration libs which are closed. As said, this is something that we can not do anything in the short term. This is the case also in N900 maemo repos. If developers wants to use those components they should be available in the repos, right ?

This left open the question of how the non open-source parts will be

We will have a binary section in the meego repos for drivers and componets
which can not be open source. Also the header files should be available so
people can do their chages and still build new images.

Binaries are unfortunate but reality which we can not do much in the short
term.
