Hey, that's totally not fair here. This is being done by a community project, for which there are no lawyers. And does this mean that some lawyer is going to come after any developer who doesn't abide by the mythical "MeeGo" compliance rules? If so, great, what's happening with a few distros that are shipping "MeeGo" without using ConMan? If nothing, then fine, we'll just ignore the empty lawyer threats. If something, then great, what exactly are the rules that need to be followed here? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
