Respinning MeeGo: only if you ship MeeGo (or don't use the name)
Andrew Wafaa, of openSUSE, kicked off a discussion on the use of the "MeeGo" trademark to discuss projects which treated MeeGo as an upstream of various software and user interface components: My understanding is that to use the word "MeeGo" in any direct naming is a no-no unless I pass compliance, of which part of that would mean taking on Connman and other parts of the MeeGo stack that just aren't in my preferred distro and to be honest, we wouldn't want them in there as we have a well tried & tested stack. Further discussion lead back to the draft spec which is currently under review. A distribution can only be called MeeGo if it uses the same package set as MeeGo itself (and the same versions thereof, albeit with the possibility of additional packages). This obviously causes problems for those which just want to use the MeeGo user experience and build it on top of their own base: to use the name "MeeGo" they have to *be* MeeGo.
