Wouldn't it make sense to use Moonlight? At least the source code is available and no restrictive license too.

MeeGo is an open platform. The last thing we need is to start polluting it with proprietory solutions.
I think you could use also Moonlight since the platform is so open. But Moonlight doesn't support DRM like Laughing Man said. I wonder why there isn't similar vector based solution which is open source? Vectors are nice for many things. Especially mobile users would benefit from vectors because of scalability. Yes, there is SVG but Flash and Silverlight offer more.
