<br><br>*As it pertains to Fedora marks, all other registered trademarks you are adding to this are between you and those other guys, and we reserve the right to come smack you if you change your name to GNU/Fedora Sony Kiddie-Porn Nike Teen Server -- IIS Viagara SEX SEX Edition.
<br><br>Hmmm. I wonder how many spam filters just bounced me.<br><br>Anyway, I like the idea of a "based on Fedora" with it's own logo, and a set of reasonable rules that users can self-govern by. Allowing them only to mix a distro from only FC+FE repos would enable touchless access to the mark (ie. we don't have any 3rd party packages to review, and we also don't have to judge at what point to little % of their distro is still Fedora to call it Fedora based).
<br><br>I'd vote that anyone wanting to call themselves Fedora Foo would be looked at a bit more, since there will be an implicit official affiliation in a user's mind. I could see folks creating things like appliances, or single app servers and wanting to call them Fedora CRM, Fedora Classroom, Fedora Video Server so it'd be worth considering Fedora Foo uses, but might have to be manually reviewed, IMHO.
