Well, sortof. The wording here is strange because you can get a
different license from the CA issuer. We can't just pick a license, but
the CA issuer might be willing to give us a different one.

reg. fedora name as trademark
by Sindhu S
hi
I noticed there is a website called usefedora.com that sells a product to
make online schools. Is this a violation of any trademark that redhat might
hold with regards to the Fedora name?
Thanks!

Adding Red Hat product installers to EPEL
by Florian Weimer
Can we add installation tools for Red Hat products to EPEL? The
products are free software, but realistically, the tools are not usable
without a Red Hat subscription.
(This would be convenient for installation tools which themselves depend
on EPEL packages.)
