That's somewhat the opposite of what FOSS stands for. Not that everything should be free, but everything should be open. It's a meritocracy that folks love and like about FOSS - and MeeGo was supposed to have embraced that fully - it didn't, they brought along Aegis which was a hindrance to some development - and the store was supposed to be more open... we all know how that worked out as well.

Plus i would think you would be able to put Meego On Samsung GS2 because they used the same Kernel as Meego, with differences, they both used a Monolithic Kernel, with a few alterations Googles part, so it should not be that hard to port Meego to an android developed device...
And that's what kills me. You'd think you'd see folks moving MeeGo in more directions than just the N9. Instead, we have a more successful port of Android to the N9; not the other way around.

Is it possible? Invariably so. Has it been done to a point where folks embrace it, talk about it, continue to improve upon it like a CyanogenMod or the like?

Not in the least. I don't think it's the lack of money, it's the lack of interest.

but for the amount of work, some developers would not see it as worth it. Seeing they will not be able to have a steady relationship with Moneyca (Did it again LOL ). My opinion anyways.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I see what you're saying... and have to say that money isn't the biggest problem for developers that would be around here. I think it's ease of getting your stuff out there in front of a lot of people.
