It's odd though - it's been known SINCE THE MERGING MAEMO AND MOBLIN ANNOUNCEMENT that they were too far into the development of Harmattan to completely comply with the MeeGo goals, and that Maemo 6 would be an hybrid instance of MeeGo with several non-compliant core features, like the package system.

As far as I can tell, they must've negotiated around that problem already before the agreement was signed. How come it's been unclear if they could use the MeeGo label this late in the process? Didn't Nokia ask? Or did the powers of Mee get non-friendly over the elopocalypse?

it seems the reason for the delay of the N9/n950 is that it isn’t decided/clarified yet whether or not the device(s) will be „branded“ MeeGo.

Anyway, the name licence problem is not a new development, i.e. did I commented on it back in March: [same discussion, different time]. If this had been a priority with Nokia, they'd get an answer to this question early. I am thinking they had their answer already back when they started talking about Maemo 6 again, at least February.

It became increasingly obvious during the conference that no other MeeGo cellphone was ready to be launched and Quim persuasively argued that certifying the Harmattan device as MeeGo compliant would be largely beneficial to the MeeGo project.

Hey, that was exactly what selfish russian said here a few pages ago.

Now, who can name one reason I'd like an intel x86 compatible device?
