The compliance program is driven by setting the compliance specs (discussed
on meego-dev):,*http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/Compliance

The URL link that was in the text has been replaced but link was not
updated. Sorry about that - I just fixed it.
Now when you click on "MeeGo Compliance Program" link, you will be
redirected to http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/Compliance (which is the correct
link for MeeGo Compliance Program).

So basically, if someone/company wants to use the name MeeGo as part of
their product name, they need to respect:
1- trademark guidelines - published at
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/linux-foundation-trademark-usage-guidelines
2- MeeGo compliance guidelines or specs  (ongoing project - status can be
tracked at: http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/Compliance)
