Thanks Oleg and Robert, Now I understand the naming policy (Fennec v.s. Firefox Mobile).
I would still like to verify that I have understood the versioning correctly. So the version MeeGo.com has in build server for 1.1 http://build.meego.com/package/binaries?package=fennec-qt&project=MeeGo%3A1.1%3ACore&repository=standard is based on something between 2.0a1 and 4.0b1-real when compared to releases found from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/ Am I right? And the upcoming MeeGo.com release will be based on MeeGo.com Trunk http://build.meego.com/package/binaries?package=fennec-qt&project=Trunk&repository=standard That is 4.0b8pre1109 Am I right? Interesting side note, where Mozilla has put 4.0b6 and 4.0b7? Or have they decided not to release those at all? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/ has only up to 4.0b5.

That's actually wrong, as "nightly" versions, i.e. the development versions are using the "Fennec" name (just like desktop versions use "Minefield" for those) and that one goes without tight trademark control, while releases use the registered "Firefox" trademark name that comes with certain restrictions (like only using Mozilla-approved patches).

If you have some patches/changes which are conflicting with Firefox policy or just not approved by mozilla, then you are not able to use Firefox brand name (let say you are using gstreamer and enabling H264 codecs support) You can use custom Mobile Firefox build with some special patches, but then you need to rename it to some "Meego Browser" or Mozilla For Meego...
