Yes, the UI is propriatery skin (that's not intended to get open sourced) over the open source internals. That's how the previous Maemo-based devices worked, too.

This is somewhat analogous to Android (which is open source) and HTC's Sense UI on top of it (which is specific to HTC). Google's Android pages don't neccessarily link to HTC' products.

That explains everything, but what with no releases since October 2010. That release was pretty bare bones as I recall, have they really made this much progress since then (and in the middle of layoffs/turmoil)?
