Will Project Fedora run on the fedora project? ;-)

[Jan Wildeboer]

Not sure if we should act here with the full legal force (please DO 
NOT!) or if it would be better to contact them and discuss a possible 
release on Fedora as tip of the hat.

Brought up a ton of times already. We determined there was no real
overlap so no reason to swing a legal stick around.

That said, I don't think we want to create a problem by doing things
like contacting them and doing a partnership as that would introduce
significant confusion.

I think we should not focus on this. Fedora is just a noun in English
Dictionary, since they are not using any of our trademarks why should
we need worry. Since we are appreciating *freedom* do we need to chase
them for using just one of nouns in English. Finally we are not
Microsoft or Apple :)
