When to rebrand fedora?
by Bryan Kearney
I have a question. The other day I put out a sugar desktop appliance [1]
based on F9. It was pointed out that I violated the fedora trademark
policies. I did some digging, and the relevant page seems to be [2].
My question is what is a "modification". If you look at my kickstart
file [3], you see that I did 2 things which could be it:
a) I added package from a foreign repo that is also in fedora (xulrunner)
b) I added packages to to the appliance from a foreign repo
Does anyone know which item (a or b) was the actual issue? I bring this
up here since as ISVs begin to get more integrated with fedora, it is
possible that they will ship appliances, live-cds, live-usbs, install
media, etc. It would be nice to know when it is necessary to re-brand to
stay in compliance with the trademark guidelines.
BTW.. it was pretty easy to rebrand the appliance, so this is not an
issue of effort.. more of clarity.

Can replies go to the list please?
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Can someone (Greg? Karsten?) configure the mailing list to have replies
go the list instead of the poster please?
It saves me a lot of duplicates.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
