See 
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html>.  To 
use anything based on the 2009 work, either Nokia will need to complete a 
corporate copyright assignment for that work, if it is copyright Nokia 
pursuant to whatever employment contract Siarhei Siamashka had with Nokia 
at the time, or Nokia will need to complete an employer disclaimer and 
Siarhei Siamashka will need to complete an individual assignment.  And the 
same applies for anyone else who has made significant contributions to the 
code.

I suggest raising such a question of configure options for such trade-offs 
more generally on libc-alpha.
