No at all: it's about standardization. The device must support a certain 
set of features and provide well defined APIs.

So if a device is MeeGo compliant, it will be advertised as such.

What's confusing about it?


If you write an application which relies on MeeGo features only and can 
be run across multiple MeeGo compliant devices, what matters to you that 
in one of them there might be a closed component which doesn't belong to 
the MeeGo stack?
