Hello.
Fedora contains various tools for appliance creation. AFAIK it is intended that Fedora shall be used as a base for various appliances ISVs or OEMs want to create. But there is there some legal-guide which summarizes the legal aspects of Fedora based appliances e.g. when I want to distribute a Fedora AOS with some proprietary software? (As some kind of media-center).
I'm assuming you mean guidance on whether, and how, these types of appliances can use the "Fedora" name and associated trademarks. You can find our full trademark guidelines here:

The particular section on appliances and OS images is here:
