Greetings. <br>
<br>
So I've been wondering how we can measure usage of Fedora vs
unofficial remixes that have removed the Fedora Trademarks and while
speaking with Seth regarding one of the ideas I had on how we could
potentially implement this he pointed it out to me that we might be
legally prohibited to gather this information with or without
explicit user consent and forwarded me to you guys to straighten
this out.<br>
<br>
So my question to you guys is. <br>
<br>
Is there anything legally prohibiting or restricting us on verifying
and gather information if users are running Fedora or are running
some unofficial remix that have removed the Fedora trademarks?<br>
<br>
If the answer is yes. <br>
<br>
What are we allowed to do? <br>
<br>
What are we not allowed to do?<br>
<br>
If we are not allowed to gather this data in anyway or form can the
unofficial remix be legally bound to notify us of their existence
and or provide us with that data so we could have some kind of an
idea on how many remixes are out there which Fedora is "upstream"
for? <br>
<br>
Regards<br>
