I wasn't entirely clear. The phone call was long and during it the justification was that individually contributed apps are not subject to the same review as those apps that end up in meego or the reference codebase. Individual apps will still of course be welcome in core MeeGo or the reference codebase.

I personally don't think any code undergoes any meaningful review wrt the stated threat. I do think that having a clear providence may mitigate the legal risk. Since LF won't comment I am speculating.

There will be no apps.meego.com at all - especially not for corporate apps.

apps.formeego.org is the successor to maemo extras and written by much of the same team.
