I would *personally* say that you're allowed to credit MeeGo whenever you take
something from MeeGo. What you can't do is use the name in a way that confuses
people, such as naming your product "Something MeeGo" or the inverse.
The use of the name "meego" in packages is something I wonder about, even for
MeeGo's own packages (meego-panel, meegotouch, etc.). If I use meegotouch and
make an application that won't run on MeeGo, what happens? How can I say I'm
running meego-panel if the experience is different from what one would expect
on a MeeGo netbook?
Interestingly, note that the applications themselves can be replaced in MeeGo,
it's the middleware and API that can't. So you can have a MeeGo netbook that
doesn't look anything like the official Netbook UX, even if it's using meego-
panel.
