* '''[https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3199 Display applet]''': Legacy. Opening it could be considered if really needed. From the comments in the bug report it looks like the need is not that big though?

* '''libmetalayer''': Legacy. Substituted in Fremantle by open source upstream Meta Tracker. See [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2836#c16 this comment] about the possibility to open it still.

* '''osso-dsp-modules''': DSP component provided by Texas Instruments. Note that the DSP packages provided by Nokia are open source: osso-dsp-loader, osso-dsp-headers. If you are interested in open source DSP development then [http://dspgateway.sourceforge.net/ DSP Gateway] (developed by Nokia) might get your attention. However, the introduction of PulseAudio in Fremantle gives an opportunity to platform developers to forget about the DSP completely.

* '''dsme''': This component covered many areas including power management, which is considered a differentiation area by Nokia. The component has been redesigned and the sensitive functionality has moved to mce, allowing to distribute dsme (soon) with an open license together with related tools and plugins: bootstate, dsmetool, waitfordsme, libdsme.so, libhwwd.so, liblifeguard.so, libprocesswd.so, libstartup.so and libstate.so. Then libtemperature.so will be replaced by another component consisting of several dsme open source plugins. Finally, libcalmodule.so will be dropped.
