These are very valid points. Red Hat Legal was able to quickly turn
around a new version of this document for us, please look at:
http://spot.fedorapeople.org/Model%20and%20Contribution%20Release%20rev1.pdf
It is no longer an "exclusive" agreement, and it is now bounded to the
Fedora Picture Book only.
Please let me know if there are any additional concerns, Red Hat is more
than willing to work with our needs here.
I see no concerns. I talked with Spot about adding a field for the name
of the image on the wiki and he added that.
The final version of the release form is at
https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/2/2c/Picture_book_release_form.pdf
If you still see any problems with it please let me know.
(ccing spot so he can remember to remove the PDFs from his fedorapeople)
