The rest is not relevant to my comment.

My point was simple. Harmattan will be what is on the N950 when it is released, and while there may be a DE version of MeeGo for the N950, and a lot of code from Harmattan is going into MeeGo, Harmattan is not MeeGo. They should not have an exemption. Not becauseNokia is going WP7 or somehow they are evil, but because they participated in establishing a set of rules that define what MeeGo is, and will admittedly not meet them.

Of course, that's all my opinion. Don't go getting angry now.
youre saying harmattan is not meego well what do you base that on?
Binary blobs? I dont think soo cause this is allowed in Meego! not in the OSS repos ofcourse but on the phones/tablets by the manufactors.

DEB instead of RPM? well that was the case 2010 and maybe not true now cause we have not seen any official statement this is still the case maybe they are using rpm now?

so what of the rest of the rules they dont follow in Meego to be called Meego?

as far as i know there is not that much difference between harmattan and Meego they both is using same core linux libs. But if you can prove me wrong with facts I dont mind.
