Well to be fair, it does appear to have been created (registered?) as far back as November 2008, so unless Nokia or Intel have access to a time machine it's not likely they could have done much about this other than offer to buy the domain (which is presumably what they did with meego.com as this domain has been registered since February 1999), but obviously the .org domain owner asked for more than Nokia/Intel were prepared to pay.
Since he's now stuck up a home page with text that could lead the (very) unwary into thinking it may be an official meego web site (as there is no evidence that the site is not associated with Nokia, Intel, Linux Foundation or even MeeGo) I'd say he's starting to swim in dangerous waters and it might be time to unleash the legal attack dogs or claim make a claim for squatting.
That said, changing the domain name for the MeeGo project so soon after announcing meego.com would be idiotic, but somehow fitting and in keeping with Maemo tradition.
