Dear Fedora Person, Nov. 8, 2013
Here at Systems Development Associates Inc. we have developed for our
own purposes and internal use a customization of Fedora8 and Fedora12
that we call sdaLinux. Recently we have contemplated offering sdaLinux
to the public on a basis somewhere between the "here take it" attitude
of the free software people and the "all the traffic will bear" basis of
our more mercenary colleagues. While trying determine what our options
are and decide where in that spectrum to operate, I entered
"fedoraproject.org/wik/Legal/Licenses/LicenseAgreement", which is
mentioned by the Fedora12 install process, and here I am. "Here" is
sdaLinux itself ,which is still being tested, so I am going to CC this
to my normal "sda" operating email address sdacorner(a)hushmail.com
<mailto:wheatonrd@hushmail.com> and reforward it to you from there.
That way we can use a system that is not in a test environment.
R D Wheaton,
There are several things you should consider:
1) You need to be prepared to honor the terms of all of the licenses of
all of the software components within your customized Linux OS. There is
no true "single" license for Fedora, for example.
2) Fedora 12 is very dated, and there are many known, and unfixed
security issues. We would not recommend that you use such an old base of
Linux, unless you are prepared to do extensive modifications to close
these security holes.
3) Should you decide to do this anyways, you will need to be sure to
comply with our Trademark Guidelines, specifically concerning the
removal of the Fedora trademarks (text and logos) from the offering. Our
full Trademark Guidelines can be found here:

If you have additional questions, please feel free to direct them to me.
Thanks,
