It seems like the path of least resistance for all involved is simply to package the software without giving top-line (as in, project name) credit to MeeGo as the upstream. "OpenSuse Netbook", "Fedora Netbook", "Debian Netbook", etc. The MeeGo project will of course be correctly credited with copyright notices in the source code for those who download that. If the MeeGo project doesn't *want* credit from remixes, then why give it? Do you think there's a particular brand value in having a remix associated with MeeGo? This feels a little like a reverse "GNU/Linux" debate at this stage :) "GNU/Linux/X/freedesktop.org/GNOME/Qt/MeeGo based OpenSuse Netbook Edition" might be a mouthful for people, though... Iceweasel may also provide historical context...
