[maemo-community] A business case for Maemo

[From: Randall Arnold]

Thanks Dave, but it was my understanding in a previous discussion along
those lines that incorporating "maemo" in site names (like maemo-guru, et
al) and similar was okay.  Note that there are similar
organizations/enterprises wrapped around other trademarked terms without
issues.

BUT-- I will bounce this off Peter nonetheless (or maybe he's monitoring
this list?).
