[Off-Topic] Here at Brazil we have many juridical problems, but at least for Internet Domains politicians created a law that allow for a company take back the related domain if it is proved that the person who registered is not even using it and the purpose was just to sell it. Sure it might take years to conclude the process... but that's another story...[/Off-Topic]
At the moment I would say the admin of meemo.org can be accused of "passing off" and also using the meemo.org website solely as a means to make money through Google ad impressions from those who come to the site by accident.

Not sure if Nokia/Intel/LF can make the case that MeeGo is entitled to the corresponding .org domain but since the .org admin has now highlighted the association with MeeGo for no other reason than personal enrichment I suspect they may have a case to take the domain since it isn't being used for any other valid purpose. There isn't even a link that redirects the user to meego.com.

However, IMHO it's all too late and we don't need yet another unnecessary change...
