Allow me to respectfully disagree. Brand dilution will not happen from
giving the community a logo they can legally play and get creative with.
It will rather happen if we do not, and the community has either one of
two choices:

        1. Use our one and only logo illegally, i.e. without our
        permission, and in contexts where we would rather not have it
        used;
        
        2. Come up with their own version, which we all know can involve
        puppies wearing blue hats.

If we provide a sane framework for Fedora logo use, we will only
strengthen our brand.

Or have you had any difficulty recognizing the Debian logo and what it
stands for?

Cheers,
