Clarification for all - we are interested in anything before the 30 
January 2007 date.  The application we are opposing contains both the 
word "Fedora" and the logo.  So evidence our use of the word Fedora in 
any form, with or without the logo, before the January date is also 
valuable.

Thanks,
