It's better to give the whole distribution its own name, and not
name
it after any of its components. Fedora is a software distribution. It
contains Linux, many GNU components, RPM, MariaDB, Libreoffice and lots
of other things, but its name is "Fedora". Or call it "Fedora Software
Distribution" or anything else that doesn't single out any of the
components. That approach seems to minimize the political fighting.
FreeBSD is just FreeBSD and BSD stands for Berkeley Software Distribution.
Maybe we should use Fedora Software Distribution. But I rather like
just plain "Fedora".
