Re: Different owner of some Fedora-Cloud-Base images in AWS?

I was wondering why I cannot tag some images in AWS and I found that
some GA images in AWS have different owner.
I.e. all our images has
Owner account ID 125523088429
But e.g. ami-0e4e634d022c1a3f8 in ap-southeast-4 region has owner id 569228561889. There
are more such cases, but it seems quite random.
To see this AMI in WebUI you have to switch from "AMIs owned by me" to
"Public images".
Is this expected? Is this some malicious thing?
We have a community cloud AWS account (predates the official AWS account used today) with
ID 013116697141, so if you see any
from that account they aren't malicious, but we should probably clean them up.
We use the community cloud AWS account for dev (occasionally) and for testing created
Cloud and CoreOS images. Nothing "official" should be produced by that account.
569228561889 could be just a individual/company/org that makes copies of our images they
are using as a hedge in case we ever delete the images. So it's not necessarily
malicious, but not ideal. Ideally we'd get our official images into the AWS
marketplace and it would be easier to tell which were official and which aren't.
