[giusepped]

Is it possible to reuse code of demos examples in proprietary apps?

As long as you comply with the license at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html

Which what I think it means is: only if your application is open source.

However, I can't speak for Nokia's legal department for obvious reasons.

But LGPL does not require the code to be open.
Anyway, I sent also a inquire to Nokia. Let's wait.

But LGPL does not require the code to be open.

It requires, if you copy LGPL licenced code, to your application code.

But i suggest to use the example code only for that purpose, meanning example on how to start your application.
