MeeGo is registered trademark of the Linux foundation, thus it is open source.
the way open source handles DRM is by not including any software that infringes on any "right" (patent, intellectual property and the like)
as MeeGo is open source, it is a matter for a developer to add the features, which is usually one of the 1st things available (listening to MP3s, anyone?)

in an open source OS, this is a moot issue.

won't comment on the packaging part; if that seems senseless to you, maybe you should stick w/ a N8 / ANDroid or even an iPotato?

i think that the choice of m$ over Google (even though Google apparently offered quite some money w/ the deal) was primarily because w/ ANDroid, NOKIA would have had a much harder time getting a(-ny?) say in OS matters.
many ANDroid devices have customized UIs, but that's not what NOKIA is (primarily ?) interested in; they want to be able to add new HW features and that requires the ability to tweak the kernel, something Google seems to be unwilling to allow
(see the argument about features the ANDroid developer @ Google added to the kernel & which was not sanctioned by the kernel community...)
m$ was the only available choice, the least worst solution...

Also, if Intel doesn't like it they can shove it and we just give it a different name. What matters in the end is that in not such a long time from now, the smartphone world will be richer for one exciting open platform (this time it's no hacker's toy like Fremantle was), and one amazing device.
MeeGo is trademark of the Linux foundation; if Intel doesn't like where it is going, THEY will have to think of a new name (or exhume Moblin >:-)

i thought there wasn't supposed to be any keyboard ?!? ))

or are those links just "samples" of what NOKIA has technologically in the wings?

the way you posted it implies this is the consumer MeeGo device, no?
(talking about starting rumours )

I can't tell if you are joking, but if you are not, then your expectations of the consumer device are seriously off.

And yes, that's Symbian of course. Not even a proper smartphone.

Oh, please don't throw more gasoline to the "IT HAZ A KEIBOURD. NO WAY IT HAZNT" fire.
I don't want to read 50 more pages of people presenting rumors as facts.

Huh? That wasn't meant at all in relation to hardware keyboards (which I wouldn't comment on).

Hell no!
RM745 was mentioned so I just searched for RM745 and those were the links coming up.
If the FCC filling is that device on the photo or not -> no comment
