Hi MeeGo, Following on from the thread about trademark usage compliance thread.... I was following with interest various fun at MeeGo conf one of the things that caught my attention was some of Linpus announcements.
I noticed that Linpus is using MeeGo and all the related trademark things like logos, graphics etc (it seems they were quite involved in the conference) but on their site but apparently (via various discussions I've had with other people) at the conference they were quite happy to announce their exceptional network support with "More 3G modems and device to device file transfer (adhoc), VPN, PPPoE and WPA2-enterprise support." using "Network Manager"! So how does this all work? Fedora applied to use (and was initially granted) use of the MeeGo trademark. Then the discussion fell apart due our unwillingness to use connman, primarily for our ability to support it, but also for "More 3G modems and device to device file transfer (adhoc), VPN, PPPoE and WPA2-enterprise support" .... is there a double standard? Is this a commercial vs open source community distro license agreement or allowance? I'm somewhat confused! Do Linpus have an exception to the requirements of using connman or do they provide (and are allowed to do so) a library to provide an api glue between the two? Or are they wrongly advertising features that they can't "legally" provide if they wish to adhere to the current Presumably Linpus adhere to the LF's agreement to use the trademarks as is currently announced or otherwise I've apparently missed something or some process announcement.
