As pointed out, there will be many different places. Each repository has its own rules. I would guess that as you are keeping the source closed, a company app store (like Intel AppUp or Ovi store) would be the right place. > > > >> 2.

Thoughts? Yes: http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Application_Support The intention is to move the community applications to a more community controlled model. The initial Garage is there to provide a location for users to try popular open source applications. The working assumption with the Community repository is that applications there should be open source. MeeGo itself is an open source project, so the community repository being open feels right. Naturally that reasoning can be discussed.
