Oh come on.  This can't be anywhere near as pretentious as "Masters of 
the Universe" used by Ubuntu.

Fedora is one of the last remaining major defenders of Freedom in FOSS. 
  - Ubuntu ships GPL violating proprietary kernel drivers.
- Novell sold their soul to the devil and betrayed the community.

The Fedora collection contains everything that is free as in liberty. 
It is comprised of freedom.  So why not call it that?
