the assets and rights of various stakeholders, be that users, content
providers, device vendors, etc.
DRM/CA solutions but it must allow DRM/CA solutions that are not part
of MeeGo and that are potentially proprietary and closed source to be
used with MeeGo. That also includes that MeeGo's licensing must not

On this one I disagree. Every party can decide for themselves, which
platform to cooperate with. If the consumers are using an open-source
platform, such a MeeGo, the content providers can decide for themselves
to either cooperate and accept an open source DRM, such as Sun's DReaM,
or not get paid.
I think what a lot of people disagree with is not the protection of
content or other artifacts, but the protection of an outdated business
model by obfuscation and proprietary means. This, IMHO, is one of the
reasons why Apple's or Google's business models may actually be successful.
