<p>The only difference with something like this -- as opposed to other "press" type sites -- is that it's out to make money... That might violate the TM.

<br/>> Thanks Dave, but it was my understanding in a previous discussion along
<br/>> those lines that incorporating "maemo" in site names (like maemo-guru, et
<br/>> al) and similar was okay. Note that there are similar
<br/>> organizations/enterprises wrapped around other trademarked terms without
<br/>> issues.
<br/>>
<br/>> BUT-- I will bounce this off Peter nonetheless (or maybe he's monitoring
<br/>> this list?).
