So, I got a question by someone making a hardware adaptation of MeeGo
for hobbyist purposes, not for publishing with an actual device. A
project existing outside the current MeeGo.com project so to say.

Is those hardware adaptations, if fully based on RPMs and .ks'es from
repo.meego.com considered able to call themselves "MeeGo for X
device"?

Or what's the best way? "Unofficial MeeGo hardware adaptation for X"?
Or are people supposed to use totally different naming and a different
theming packages?

Parallels can be drawn to for example derivative distributions of
Debian not being able to call themselves Debian <something>.

Asking these questions because it's better to have that conversation
early* than when someone makes a successful derivative users like and
project asks them to switch name :)

Best regards,
Carsten Munk

* I'm hoping to see more compliance information on the next TSG
meeting but so far compliance seems to have been around devices
getting sold with MeeGo and not this scenario.
