Another might be "KDE LiveCD, based on Fedora."  Sounds dorky, but if 
he's doing it because he likes KDE more than Fedora it makes sense. 
It's not strong branding for us, because it doesn't look like it has our 
blessing.  So maybe "KDE LiveCD, powered by Fedora."  might be better if 
we're actually blessing it.

Here's another way to put it: if you get it from fedoraproject.org 
and/or official mirrors, it's Fedora.  If you get it from somewhere else 
it's based on/powered by.  That's one possible knife we can use.
